Middletown’s Support the Troops Program is collecting supplies for U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant Nicholas Abbate, a life-long resident stationed in Afghanistan. Donations will be accepted March 3 through April 5 at Middletown Town Hall, 1 Kings Highway and the Middletown Main Library, 55 New Monmouth Rd.

Abbate, a weapons company platoon commander, and his 80-plus member infantry unit are dispersed throughout the Helmond Province. Suggested donations include black boots socks since there are no showers and soldiers must change their socks often. Instant foods such as ramen noodles, Easy Mac, tea bags, hot cocoa and others that only require hot water to prepare are a welcome respite from daily MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat). Other needed supplies include batteries (AA, AAA, C,D, 3-volt), cookies and other snacks, toothbrushes and toothpaste, razors and non-aerosol shaving cream, baby wipes, toilet paper, Q-tips, and pens. Children’s art work and personal notes from home are always a welcome addition to care packages.

Abbate is a graduate of St. James Grammar School and Christian Brothers Academy. He graduated in 2006 from the Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering and a minor in French and received a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2007 he graduated from The Basic School, Quantico Virginia and was recognized on the Commanding General’s Honor Roll for superior achievement. After completing the Infantry Officer Course he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment Marines stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Abbate served a tour of duty in Iraq before heading to Afghanistan.

The program is managed through the township’s Emergency Management Office and supported by Middletown VFW 2179. Call Cindy Herrschaft at 732-615-2287 for more information.

Middletown’s Support the Troops Program is collecting supplies for U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant Nicholas Abbate, a life-long resident stationed in Afghanistan. Donations will be accepted March 3 through April 5 at Middletown Town Hall, 1 Kings Highway and the Middletown Main Library, 55 New Monmouth Rd.

Abbate, a weapons company platoon commander, and his 80-plus member infantry unit are dispersed throughout the Helmond Province. Suggested donations include black boots socks since there are no showers and soldiers must change their socks often. Instant foods such as ramen noodles, Easy Mac, tea bags, hot cocoa and others that only require hot water to prepare are a welcome respite from daily MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat). Other needed supplies include batteries (AA, AAA, C,D, 3-volt), cookies and other snacks, toothbrushes and toothpaste, razors and non-aerosol shaving cream, baby wipes, toilet paper, Q-tips, and pens. Children’s art work and personal notes from home are always a welcome addition to care packages.

Abbate is a graduate of St. James Grammar School and Christian Brothers Academy. He graduated in 2006 from the Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering and a minor in French and received a commission as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. In 2007 he graduated from The Basic School, Quantico Virginia and was recognized on the Commanding General’s Honor Roll for superior achievement. After completing the Infantry Officer Course he was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment Marines stationed in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Abbate served a tour of duty in Iraq before heading to Afghanistan.

The program is managed through the township’s Emergency Management Office and supported by Middletown VFW 2179. Call Cindy Herrschaft at 732-615-2287 for more information.
