CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Roughly 1,500 pounds of socks, sheets, shampoo and other necessities are being flown to Afghanistan to replace gear taken from Fort Bragg soldiers during shipment.
The Charlotte Observer reports Monday that about 70 soldiers had spent hundreds of dollars on the deodorant, toothpaste, and other personal necessities they'd need for a year's deployment. An Army spokeswoman says their belongings were stolen somewhere between the port of Karachi in Pakistan and Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
Strangers and friends are helping replace what thieves took from the 519th Military Intelligence Battalion. A shipment is leaving Charlotte on Monday for Bagram Airfield.
