Give2TheTroops® Nationwide
"Warm A Troop's Heart™" Drive has begun!
|
To All Patriotic Citizens: Give2TheTroops needs your help!
Give2TheTroops® is a 501 (c) 3, tax-exempt, non-profit organization that sends care packages
and letters to our deployed and
wounded
military troops in combat zones. They are non-political and support all branches of the service.
Founded in December
of
2002, by a
U.S. Marine wife, the organization has grown to many branches in many states. Since 2002, G2TT has sent more
than
70,000 large boxes
(averaging 65 lbs. each) to approximately one million American military troops deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Kosovo and other combat zones.
This year, you are each being asked to support our troops through the:
“Warm A Troop's Heart" ™ Donations Drive!
  

(Yes, it SNOWS in Iraq and Afghanistan and it gets VERY COLD!)
