"We receive letters from soldiers expressing their gratitude to the community for sending these care packages," James Rathschmidt, "They are so touched that someone they don't even know takes the time to write a note to thank them for their service. Some of these service member don't have anyone at home writing to them, so these packages mean so much to them. They read the letters and carry them with them."
United for the Troops is celebrating 10 years of graciously serving those who selflessly serve us! More than 16,000 boxes shipped to date! View the attached video to see the amazing work this organization does by pulling the community together to support a great cause!
