EVERY AMERICAN
Do you know a deployed service member?
UNIT COMMANDER, VETERAN ORGANIZATION, OR FAMILY READINESS GROUP
Request packages for Deployed Troops, First Responders, Veterans, or Battalion Buddies.
The Care Package that was sent to me was very appreciated. From the toothpaste, hygiene items, and the snacks, I can tell you none of it went to waste. We are all so thankful to have awesome Americans back home who haven’t forgotten about us–people who take time out of their busy day to do something nice for others they will never meet or possibly ever hear from.”
