 SUPPORT A SOLDIER is a nationwide
program based at Fort Hood, Texas. Our goal is to ensure that our
deployed military members know they are appreciated during their
deployments to Iraq and elsewhere around the world. What began as a
small endeavor to support local Soldiers, has now grown into a
nationwide effort that supports Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen
deployed worldwide.
SUPPORT A SOLDIER implemented the "Adopt-A-Soldier" program in January 2006. We are proud to say that it has been a huge success. Thanks to great Americans nationwide, 11,687
Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen deployed around the globe have
been adopted. We hope to increase that number daily. While we continue
to send care packages to our deployed military members, we hope that
the "Adopt-A-Soldier" program will help us reach a larger number of soldiers in need.
SUPPORT A SOLDIER has to provided 8,219 caring Sponsors a means to provide support to deployed military personnel, and in a combined effort they have adopted 11,687 men and women in uniform. With the support of thousands of caring Americans we have provided over 200,000 letters of support and over 125,000
care packages that have been sent around the globe. We hope that you
will spread the word about our good works, so that we can increase our
numbers in the upcoming year.
