Mission
THE OCEAN CITY LIONS CLUB HAS EMBARKED ON A PROJECT THAT WILL ASSIST OUR INJURED MILITARY HEROES FROM THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. MANY HAVE BEEN KILLED AND MANY MORE HAVE BEEN INJURED. OUR HEARTS AND OUR PRAYERS GO TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PROTECT OUR FREEDOM FROM TERRORIST ACTIONS. OUR LIONS CLUB WANTS TO ASSIST THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED. AT THE TIME OF THEIR INJURIES THEY ARE RUSHED IMMEDIATELY TO THE CLOSEST MEDICAL FACILITY FOR FIRST AID TREATMENT AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO THE LANDSTUHL ARMY MEDICAL CENTER IN GERMANY. WHEN RUSHED TO THE FIRST MEDICAL FACILITY ALL OF THEIR PERSONAL BELONGINGS ARE LEFT BEHIND AND MAY NEVER CATCH UP WITH THEM. WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL AT LANDSTUHL MANY OF THEM MAY BE ABLE TO GO TO DIFFERENT FACILITIES BUT ALL THEY HAVE TO WEAR IS THE HOSPITAL PAJAMAS AND ROBE. LARGE CORPORATIONS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS HAVE FURNISHED THESE HEROES WITH NEEDED CLOTHING, TOILET ARTICLES, PHONE CARDS, CASH ETC THAT IS COORDINATED BY THE CHAPL
