Congratulations go out to Soldiers Angels for being selected as the CommuniCause $25,000 social media make over winner!

We are thrilled and excited to announce we now have over 311,000 members from 89 countries & territories from around the world, supporting our U.S. deployed troops. All made possible because of extraordinary caring individuals, such as yourselves. THANK YOU!
 

AAUSS entered the CommuniCause contest to win a $25,000 social media makeover on July 27th.  AAUSS was listed 812th among other well deserving charities and organizations. With the outstanding support and help of our members, friends, visitors and folks who care for our troops and believe in the wonderful work Adopt A US Soldier does, we ran up the ranks to 5th place...in less than 24 hours!  In another  amazing feat of voting AAUSS had made it to 3rd place. We slipped back to 5th place when voting closed on 31 July. But that is OK! The winner of the $25k social media makeover will be selected from those outstanding organizations and charities who held spots 1- 10.

AAUSS has been advised that a winner will be selected "mid-August". So keep those thoughts and prayers coming. We have an excellent chance and we could not have done it without the incredible support received by all of you. So we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.  As soon as the winner has been announced, we'll post straight away!

24 APR 2009

Mark your calendars folks. On Thursday, April 23, 2009, For The Troops (http://www.forthetroops.us) is having a media event to celebrate sending off their 10,000^th care package! You read that right. They will have sent off TEN THOUSAND care package!!  AAUSS has also been told a big screen, HD TV has been donated to them and For The Troops intends to give it to the Soldier or Marine who receives care package number 10,000.  Way to Go!!!   

Over a weekend in March, Satin, and AAUSS volunteer, attended a BBQ put on by an organization based out of Martin County Florida called SaluteUS.  An amazing organization.  Their mission is to compile all the information a veteran would need into one centralized location and have it for them at their disposal... if and when they need it.  Satin can't say enough good things about this organization.  They are helping people who have served, or who are currently serving, with housing needs, clothing, financial assistance, mental health, physical health and are helping to provide a connection with loved ones back home, whether it is to make sure the grass is cut or the refrigerator gets fixed.

Please visit their website and check out what they are all about.  They can be found at www.saluteus.org and if you are a service member or a veteran please feel free to contact them at homefront@saluteus.org.
