Adopt A US Soldier

Connecting supportive Americans with deployed soldiers.

Standing Guard - Spc. Harmon

"...it's really nice to come in off a mission and [see] a package in the lobby...thank you."

"...me and my platoon would like to express our deepest gratitude for the care packages you sent...you have truly raised morale..."

"...I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart..."

"...it's not often that we get to taste the foods of the US..."

"...thank you for your support and gifts... your gratitude is well appreciated by all the soldiers...may we be in your heart as you are in ours..."
