A Letter to Our Supporters, 
|
| Operation Troop Support sends out a very special “Thank You” to those people who have come forward over the past year to show the troops and their families how much America cares. Over the past 12 months, thousands of care packages were sent to the war zone, the combat support hospitals, and the US military hospitals on a continuous basis to help raise the morale of our soldiers. Monthly support group meetings brought knowledgeable experts in to educate our family members and friends on what to expect when their loved one returned from war, and how best to cope with the changes that accompanied their return. Over 21,000 individually wrapped Christmas and Hanukkah gifts were sent in December, along with over 30,000 Christmas Cards to units all across the world. We brought the troops’ message to the American public through speaking engagements at civic club meetings, church gatherings, school activities, political events, and business luncheons. We brought a wounded warrior home to see his sick family member, and we raised money for the family of a wounded soldier who had been very seriously injured in Afghanistan. To those who gave us the names of deployed soldiers and allowed us to help their loved one, we say thank you; To those who donated items, time, or money to help us carry out our mission, we say thank you; For those who have not worked with us, we invite you to be a part of an organization who cares. Our pride in America is eclipsed only by our devotion to those men and women who put on the nation’s uniform and say “Don’t worry, we’ll protect you”. These brave servicemen and women deserve our help, and you all can play a part in seeing that they get it. |

The annual OTS Dinner! Each year in March we celebrate the anniversary of the start of OTS back in 2003. For the past two years, we have had over 300 people come and taste a full Irish corned beef and cabbage dinner catered by Henrys of Beverly, followed by a tribute to the men and women who are serving our country, and a thank you to those who have helped support them. This year, we plan to down size the event, so tickets will be available on a first come first served basis, beginning in January. We will make an announcement on ticket availability next month. Check the website, our OTS email, or face book for up to the minute details. |
