I heard Lieutenant Hecht on a Cincinnati talk show...this seems real, it seems important. It could also be a scam but...
Merry Christmas!

"Please explain to your child that children in an Afghanistan hospital really need their help. The hospital is so poor, doctors have to REUSE bandages and dressings and since they can't afford bed nets in the burn unit, flies contaminate the children's injuries. Anti-biotic cream is also in short supply.
"Let your child take the lead and send me a care package that I can deliver to the Indira Ghandi Children's Hospital here in Kabul. Again, bandages, dressing, bed nets and anti-biotic cream would be great. That's what I want for Christmas.
"Please don't ignore this request expecting the next guy to step forward. If you're getting this e-mail, then this is a request from me to you.
