Depot Sends Aid To lraq

The chain is donating 100,000 items including shovels, table saws, generators and jackhammers, along with thousands of letters of support from company associates.

The products were loaded June 24 on nine tractor trailers in San Diego, Ca., and delivered by U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Transports to U.S. military installations in lraq.

"These tools and materials will help Army civil affairs, engineers and other units as they continue daily to improve the lives of the men, women and children of lraq," said Paul Boyce at the Pentagon.
