"You can't fix every problem, but what you can fix, you must." --Steve Bono
Operation Shoe Fly
Operation shoe fly. 1st Sgt. James Thomson and his CF-47D Chinook crew are on a mission in Afghanistan -- deliver shoes to needy children. In addition to soldiers and supplies, Thomson and his "crew dogs" want to drop off shoes, after being moved by the poverty in remote regions of the country. He said, "In addition to protecting the feet of these young innocent children, we might even win some hearts and minds among their parents, and who knows where the shoes might take these kids."
BE THE CHANGE
Send your old shoes to Sgt. James Thomson: Operation Shoe Fly, Company B, 214th Aviation Regiment, Bagram, Afghanistan, APO AE 09354-9998. Because the address is an APO, the mailing is equivalent to mailing something within the US.
