Why: Dr. Biden will be opening up her home to host U.S. Senate and military spouses to assemble 2,500 kits filled with some of the items requested most by our recovering heroes. Included among the lists of goods to be packaged are shampoo, shaving items, and toothpaste, along with other hygiene essentials.
Last year, Dr. Biden and First Lady Michelle Obama teamed up with the USO and Full Circle Home to package Mother’s Day gift boxes for deployed troops to send to a special woman in their life. A military mom herself, Dr. Biden’s children’s book “Don’t Forget, God Bless Our Troops,” was inspired by her granddaughter’s personal experience during her father’s year-long deployment to Iraq.
In 2013, the USO will host more than 200 events designed to support our troops, military families and wounded, ill and injured troops as they transition, reintegrate and heal with honor.
