397 Heroes Need You: Don’t Let Them Go Unsupported!
Supporting deployed Service Members through care packages and letters can be incredibly rewarding. But don't just take our word for it, watch the video above to hear from some of our current volunteers!
Recently, we've had a hard time finding enough volunteers to support the constant influx of deployed Service Members who register for support from Soldiers' Angels.
This is heartbreaking to us! 💔
These men and women are all forward deployed. Many of them are in hostile environments where they cannot just pop over to the local bodega to buy supplies and many more of them are on ships in the middle of the ocean.
Our Nation may not be at war, but it feels as if much of America has forgotten that our heroes are still in harm's way even during times of peace.
Can you help us ensure these 397 heroes do not go unsupported? If you're not already, register to volunteer today. If you're already registered, help us spread the word! Copy/paste the URL to our video and share it on all of your channels, through email, with your co-workers, everywhere!

🍿 More Popcorn Reaches Deployed! 🍿
"We received a massive box of Trail's End popcorn to USS LABOON about a month ago. We have been deployed for 6 months. The religious ministries team has been handing out the popcorn to the Sailors and their work sections to lift spirits just a little bit. Receiving popcorn has been a huge highlight for the crew!" - Matt
