We're OH so close!!
It's that time of year again! The stockings are rolling in— packed with love and care from generous supporters all across the country. But December is almost here and we still haven't reached our goal of 40,000 pledges. In addition, we just had a LOT of deployed service members register to be supported (see next section for more details!)... more than we anticipated.
As we enter this week of Thanks and Giving, can you find it in your heart to pledge 1 or more stuffed holiday stockings?
Your gift will ensure that a deployed service member spending the holiday season away from their family will be reminded that someone back home is thinking of them. Or it will bring a smile to the face of a hospitalized veteran who may otherwise have no holiday celebration.
Click Pledge Now for more details. Or, if you don't have time to stuff stockings this year, help us cover the cost of shipping and Donate Now.

Urgent Call for Deployed Support
We had a large number of deployed service members register to be supported earlier this week. At the time that they registered, we already had about 200 awaiting support... the new registrations pushed that to over 500!!
We are in need of more volunteers to join the Deployed Adoptions Team and ensure these service members are supported!
Being deployed over the holidays is difficult as it is... the last thing we want is for these men and women to register for support that never comes!
To ensure we get each and every one of these service members supported, we're offering a special opportunity to give the Deployed Adoptions Team a try.
Register now as a Team Angel and try it! If you're not fully satisfied after you send your first care package, we will reimburse you the $1 you paid to join the team and reassign your service member to another volunteer.

10th Anniversary of Home of the Brave a Huge Success!
Veterans Day marked the 10th Anniversary of the Soldiers' Angels Home of the Brave campaign— an annual campaign that works directly with the VA Center for Development and Civic Engagement (CDCE) and corporate partners to provide employees and employers the opportunity to show their gratitude for veterans on or around Veterans Day.
This year, Veterans Day events were successfully planned, organized, and carried out by Soldiers' Angels Home of the Brave volunteers in 131 VA sites in 46 states, plus Washington DC!
But none of this would have been possible if it weren't for our incredible sponsors and their dedicated employee volunteers as well as the Soldiers' Angels staff and volunteers who helped to coordinate. Thank you to everyone who came together to make this year such a success!
Check out our blog [[link removed]] for a recap of just a few of the events across the country or click the Photos & Videos buttons below to see the events in action.

Angel volunteers have all been very busy creating and packing beautiful and thoughtful holiday care packages for the deployed service members they support! But, even with their incredible support… Soldiers’ Angels currently has more deployed service members registered for support than ever before!!
A recent surge in registrations has meant that we have more service members waiting for adoption than angels that can support them. We need more angels AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to ensure that No Soldier Goes Unloved this holiday season.
