The troops have called and we will be re-instituting the Detachment's Project "We Care" that we did during Viet Nam and Desert Storm.

Our overseas troops will be advising us of their needs that we can aid with, as citizens of Westchester County and our surrounding areas.

Our first call is through one of our members, FNE3 Mark Capitillo USN, serving aboard the USS Bataan, in the Middle East. Their Chaplain, CDR Kieran G. Mandato USN, has requested hard cover books for their ship's library. They have 3,000 Marines/Sailors aboard. You can also consider soft cover pocket novels, CD's and DVD's. Also they can use board games to occupy their "dead time" such as chess, checkers, strategy, etc.

Chaplain Mandato is a Mount Vernon, NY native and had a parish in Putnam County.
