Operation Angel
On New Years Day 2007 we went to the local military installations here in Germany to hand out gift bags to injured and deployed Service Members.  We had gone earlier and the Soldiers had fallen in love with Ceilidha, who called herself the ladybug princess.  On New Years Day she wanted to go as a fairy and she danced and sang for the troops.  As we were leaving she saw a Soldier who was going for a "walk" in his wheel chair.  She asked him how he got hurt and he offered her a sucker.  He turned around to head back to his room to get her one and she said she wanted to help, so she pushed him in his chair back down the hall, got the sucker and then pushed him back out of the ward he was in, down the hall and to the elevator.

There is nothing as heart warming as seeing a little Angel pushing a wounded soldier in a wheel chair. 

The Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines loved when Ceilidha came to visit.  This is why we have decided to continue Operation Angel in the spirit of Project Rudolph
(www.projectrudolph.homestead.com) and hand out "Guardian Angel Bags" to injured service members transitioning through Germany.

I am asking all who can, please write a Thank You letter to "Dear Servicemember" and please send them to me.  We will hand them out weekly to the Servicemembers at the hospital.  Thousands pass through there each year with a turn around of only 2-3 days.  Please help us continue to be angels to these servicemembers.  We will also be accepting monetary donations to help purchase items for the "Guardian Angel Bags" which accompany the letters.  Or you, your family or your organization can help put together these bags so we can help cheer even more service members during this tough time in their lives.

Thank You,
Joe, Tawny and Ceilidha Campbell

A call for HELP!
Operation Angel has been running full force for more than a year now and we have had some amazing support from all over the world.  We have grown and now are in need of some more help from our Military supporters.

We are currently in need of:

  • Donations of Angel Bags
  • Donations to send to our troops downrange

and most importantly...

  • a Webmaster

I am just a mom and wife who is not very computer savy. Because we have grown so fast I have been unable to keep up with the web aspect of it all and we are in desperate need of someone with computer/web knowledge to donate their time and energy to help us put together a Project TLC website and combine the current three websites into one.
