Our mission is strong. It is strong because you honor the Military each day when you assemble packages, hand-make scarves and bracelets, organize collection drives and write letters from home.
Our mission is important. It is important because-- together--we show our Troops that we remember and appreciate them.
Our dedicated supporters, including YOU, have made a tremendous impact on the morale of our service members over the past 12 years. Since March 2003, we have sent 1,155,198 Operation Gratitude Care Packages, touching countless lives.
However, the need is still great. Why?
Because there are more than 150,000 American service members deployed far from home and loved ones, most in harm's way.
Because we are still sending packages to Iraq and Afghanistan. We are sending to Liberia. We are sending to Korea. We are sending to ships throughout international waters. Plus, we are sending packages to tens of thousands of Veterans and New Recruits here at home.
All of our heroes need a reminder that the American people are thinking of them and appreciate their service.
Whether you knit a warm scarf, write a letter, donate care package items, give $15 to send one package, $45 to send three packages, or send a package every month of the year for $180, we need your help.
As we begin to celebrate the holiday season, I hope you will take this opportunity to visit www.OperationGratitude.com and support our continuing mission to serve those who serve.
Thank you for your ongoing support of our brave men and women in uniform.
Fondly,
Carolyn Blashek
Founder, Operation Gratitude
