My Fellow Americans:

 

Following the 09/11 attack on our country, we saw an unprecedented number of military service men and women deployed to the Middle East; leaving behind friends, families, and loved ones in defense of our freedoms.

 

Today, many of these men and women continue to serve this great nation of ours, in spite of the lengthy, frequent, and often unpredictable deployment rotation schedules that are the norm, rather than the exception.  For many of us, such challenges and hardships are unimaginable.  However, for our military service members, such adversities are a part of their daily lives.

 

Although we cannot change their situations, we can, however, help to alleviate their burdens.  At Homefront America, we believe that as Americans, we have an inherent responsibility to ensure that the families of our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and Coast Guardsmen have access to meaningful assistance in their time of need.

 

Building on this belief, we have developed a network of dedicated volunteers, and a host of programs to help meet this need.  Our programs, include, but are not limited to resource referrals, scholarships, backpacks filled with school supplies, and holiday gifts/meals for the entire family.

 

As a WWII and Korean War Seabee, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the challenges faced by our military families; especially when their loved ones are deployed.  Our Troops say “yes” when our country beckons them.  Let us now say “yes” to them by embracing and honoring their families.

 

It is my sincere hope that you will accept this invitation to join me, and my associates at Homefront America, in our march to help support those who have dedicated a lifetime of service to serving you and your loved ones.

 

On behalf of all of us at Homefront America, please accept my heartfelt thank you for your consideration and kindness.

 

Respectfully Yours,
