Cool Marines
Providing support and encouragement for deployed and wounded Marines
How are the individual service men and women truly doing while they are deployed? How are they handling the separation from their family? Have they seen a close friend die? Are they dealing with issues that require more support than a care package full of goodies can provide?
We want our service men and women to know that God loves them and He knows the difficulties they and their families face. We want to encourage them as they fulfill their duty.
Cool Marines operates in conjunction with the Healing Field Foundation, a 501 (c) 3, Non-profit foundation. All donations are tax deductible.
  Cooling Ties and Caps: Filled with polymer crystals that when soaked in water for a few minutes will absorb the water and remain cool for hours, making the heat a little more tolerable. Temperatures in Iraq can reach 140 degrees. How uncomfortable are you when the temperature reaches 100? Try to imagine how hard 130 or 140 would be to endure. We could not handle it, but our Marines do, and usually without complaining. They have a job to do and they do it because they are Marines. |
 Bible Bandana:
A bandana in the Marine digital camouflage with the comfort of Psalm 91 or aother encouraging Bible passage. Bible Bandanas have found it's way into the hands of thousands of deployed Marines and Sailors, providing comfort in times of trouble. As a Marine mom, knowing my son had a Bible Bandana on him, gave me a sense of peace and comfort. |
 For The Wounded:
We can't begin to understand to anguish of the injuries of war. Many Marines and Soldiers have suffered injuries that keep them hospitalized and in rehabilitation for months or even years. How do we show them how grateful we are for their tremendous sacrifice? Church and school children are drawing pictures and notes of thanks that are put on t-shirts and delivered to the wounded at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC and Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Tx. |

 Care Packages: For deployed servicemen.
Although many bases in Iraq are well supplied and provide many amenities that seem much like home, many Marines are still operating in locations without chow halls, electricity, toilets, or many of the basics we call necessities. We supply some of the basics to these Marines, snack foods, toiletries, items for recreation, with a note of our thanks and appreciation for all they are doing for us. |
 Words of Encouragement: For deployed Marines who are so far from home in uncertain circumstances. These dog tags contain an American flag and eagle on one side and Joshua 1:9 on the other: "Be strong and courageous do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9a |
