SOLDIER SOCKS - NEWS ALERT! |

| Reveal Hair of Stamford Sponsors SoldierSocks |
Local Business Partners with SoldierSocks to Help Troops... Hair and socks? Those two items may not seem like they would be paired together, but on July 23rd, Reveal Hair Salon of Stamford will commence a month-long community collection of tube socks and baby wipes to send to troops serving in the mid-east.
Reveal Hair has partnered with SoldierSocks.com to serve as a drop-off location for residents to donate the items for the organization whose mission is to aide troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Reveal Hair Salon is located at 332A Hope Street.
To kick off the collection, Reveal's owner, Maria Castellucci, will be donating 20 percent of all Saturday, July 23 salon profits to SoldierSocks.com. The collection ends on August 13.
"As a local business and as individuals, we feel it is very important to support our troops who give the ultimate sacrifice for our country," said Castellucci. "With SoldierSocks's help, we offer our troops a token of our gratitude by collecting needed items like socks and baby wipes."
Not only has Soldier Socks grown by leaps and bounds since its foundation but it has garnered tremendous attention and support from several elected officials and business leaders throughout Connecticut. In May, President Obama bestowed Soldier Socks with the prestigious President's Volunteer Service Award, which recognizes the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities and encourage more people to serve.
"Once again, SoldierSocks is humbled by local businesses and merchants like Reveal who reach out to us and offer their businesses as a drop-off location," Meek said. "SoldierSocks is a grassroots, home-grown effort to help U.S. Soldiers who are on the battlefield; it truly takes a community to demonstrate how deeply we appreciate their service."

Dear Ones:
We here 'at home' have no idea how very important the 'little things' are to our TROOPS serving overseas.
In fact, they're not such 'little things' at all, but are vitally important for the physical...not to mention 'psychological and spiritual' well-being of our brave warriors!
Clean socks are vital in the treatment and prevention of ingrown toenails, athlete's foot, blisters, and calluses as well as 'athlete's foot', 'trench foot', Jungle rot', 'New Guinea crud', 'the creeping crud' or whatever you want to call it...not to mention PAIN!
And baby wipes in combat and other situations away from clean running water are sometimes the only means of maintaining basic standards of hygiene a soldier can have.
Won't you help with this fine cause of Soldier Socks in partnership with Reveal Hair and donate money, socks and baby wipes for our guys and gals in the Mid-East?
Please let our U.S. troops know that you care about them...body and soul.
Thank you & God Bless You
