Pat Kerr, Missouri State Veterans Ombudsman, sent me a high priority request for assistance.
Pat has learned through her daughter Capt. Kate Numeric (pictured below with her son Abraham) that commanders in Tikrit are running out of certain supplies and DOD’s supply system is “log jammed” and unable to deliver them…
The supplies needed involve mostly printers, printer parts, printer, cartridges, paper etc. Here is a portion of Kate’s letter stressing the importance of these items:
— our jobs aren’t glamorous … we’re the UPS and the AAA Travel Service of the Army, and we keep track of everything that’s moving on the roads and provide the
truck drivers intelligence so they can be aware of the threats and know what to avoid. We provide clearances for convoys to leave our destinations (which are printed in triplicate to make their travel faster and more efficient), Hazardous Materials declarations (required to be in color) to put things on planes so they don’t have to be driven through IED-areas, we label items so they go from a spoke location to a hub to the right destination and the right addressee … it’s our
scanners and printers that end up providing copies of Soldiers’ leave paperwork so they can get out of the country and see family and friends. In essence, our jobs are very paper-driven, and in some cases, we’re using printers that were brought over for OIF 1 or 2 and have been in the sand and dust for 3 or 4 years now. I have one printer that we fix at least 3 times a week.Preferably, they request that you send these items as soon as possible in generic looking “care packages” – the supply circumstances are so bad that if another unit senses the package contains printer material it may never get thru(?)
Pat also said If it is better to make a financial contribution, please make your check to Operation Outreach and 100% of it will go for these purposes.
