Fisher House Joins Legion

By: fedweek

The Fisher House Foundation has announced that it will match the American Legion’s purchase of $25,000 in pre-paid telephone calling cards to be given to troops as part of operation Landstuhl. Operation Landstuhl is an initiative by the American Legion, its Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion. It was commenced after Legion commander Paul A. Morin and Auxiliary Commander JoAnn Cronin visited U.S. troops recovering at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. They found that the troops needed various personal comfort items and settled on phone cards as a beginning. Credit card donations for the program are accepted online at www.legion.org and checks can be mailed to Operation Landstuhl, c/o The American Legion, P.O. Box 1055, Indianapolis, IN 46206-1055.
