NJ's support-the-troops charity broke

  Eyewitness News

TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) - (WABC) -- New Jersey's largest independent support-the-troops charity is broke.

American Recreational Military Services director Ronnie Micciulla says the group has less than $2,000 in the bank.

The group blames the poor economy and fatigue with the war on terrorism.

The state's National Guard just started serving its largest combat deployment since World War II.

But Micciulla says that would cost nearly $150,000.

The care packages include toiletries, nonperishable food and other items.
