LEETONIA — In an effort to provide support for the wounded veterans and their visiting families at Walter Reed Veterans’ Administration Hospital in Washington D.C., the Leetonia Point Man Outpost will be collecting and delivering donated items to the hospital Feb. 25 and 26.

Point Man is a national ministry organization, with outposts throughout the United States and seven foreign countries, which administers to veterans from all wars and their families, according to Leetonia Outpost representative Phil Kinsey.

“The majority of our members are veterans,” he said. “We know what these men and their families are going through and it’s important to show them that we appreciate their sacrifices.”

Besides the visit at the end of this month, Kinsey said that the outpost is planning visits around Memorial Day and Veterans Day, with others dispersed throughout the year.
