Supporting Patients at Landstuhl Hospital in Germany

Soldiers' Angels Germany is a group of volunteers in Germany who support wounded and ill soldiers being treated at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center facilities. Injured and ill soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, or Syria are normally extracted to a U.S. Army Combat Support Hospital at a forward field operating base. If needed, the patients are then transported to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Other patients received are troops injured during training exercises in Eastern European countries. From Germany, most transfer on to the U.S. after several days, but some are able to return to duty.

Landstuhl Regional Medical Center received over 2500 sick and injured warriors in 2019. Soldiers’ Angels again distributed approx. $50,000 worth of supplies to our wounded heroes, including over 300 sets of sweats, 800 t-shirts, underwear, and socks, 200lbs of personal care items, over 650 hand made blankets, and much more.

Receiving comfort items as donations from fellow Americans back home provides a level of personal support that has a very positive impact on a patient’s morale, and therefore on the recovery process. Your support is needed and very much appreciated!
