I have been a volunteer for this wonderful organization since 2009. I have done several fundraisers, donation drives, and events. Everywhere I go in my Soldiers' Angels shirt, I am stopped by a veteran and THANKED for everything that we do. Soldiers' Angels is by far the greatest nonprofit for military that I know. They go above and beyond for our veterans, active duty, and their families.

I have been an "Angel" for a little over 2 years now. As angels, we adopt deployed military men and women and send care packages and letters of support for them. But that isn't all we do.

This year, over the Fourth of July weekend, I got the honor of coordinating a table in the famous Luckenbach, Texas to spread the word about Soldiers' Angels. Over a 3 day period, I met hundreds of people that wrote their letters to any deployed hero, we laughed, cried and hugged for a constant 3 days.

A few stories that I will forever hold in my heart came from those three days. I met young men, that while they were deployed had an angel. They said those packages and letters meant the world to them. That no matter how horrible their day or week had been, their Angel mail always cheered them up.

I met a mother of a deployed Airmen. It was the first time in their life that they had been apart for her daughters upcoming birthday. I helped her add her daughter to the list to be adopted, and got permission to send her daughter some birthday cards. Well.... I ended up sending her a birthday in a box!

I also met the parents of an Army Ranger, he is currently on his 4th deployment. His 3rd deployment, he was injured by an IED blast. To say they were distraught, is understating it. We cried together for over an hour, and I promised to keep him in my prayers, and I have, and will forever.

Soldiers' Angels does more than adopt out our deployed military. They support the family left back home, they help wounded warriors by giving them laptops, and through Operation Harmony, help heal their souls.

I love being affiliated with such a wonderful organization. I do not do this for recognition, I never want anything back for volunteering. Hearing stories of how happy our heros are to receive our packages is all the thanks I need.

Soldiers' Angels is also very supportive of their volunteers. We get the help we need to spread the word, and gather more angels. Wingtip to Wingtip!

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The stories from men and women that have had an angel while deployed. Something a former Marine said to me, "It is one thing to get letters from support from home, but to get them from a complete stranger is incredible."

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Nothing.

Not only am I a volunteer of Soldiers Angels, but I myself am a proud Army Wife. My husband has told me stories of soldiers who receive no letters, no care packages, no love or support from their friends and family. Sometimes, these poor men and women don't have the family or friends to show their support, so it makes them feel even more alone in an unfamiliar state or sometimes foreign country. Some men and women silently suffer, while others make the devastating decision of taking their own life. They would rather die than be secluded and alone. Soldiers Angels provide our men and women serving our country with that love and support, that friendship, an ear for listening. To know they have someone who is thinking of them, praying for them, be there for them in any way at the drop of the hat, makes them feel loved, wanted and needed (and they truly are!). Soldiers Angels is a wonderful organization doing tremendous things for these men and women fighting for our country. I'm so proud to call myself an Angel :).

Soldiers Angels not only helps spread the word about getting care pkgs and programs to men and women serving our country to show our support and thanks, but also have programs for those who have served like older vets, new vets, and wounded vets. It's not just about Christmas care pkgs when everyone is thinking of them but letters during the lonely times away from family and between holidays to let them know they are supported back home and someone cares. After a long day fighting and rep the USA, they deserve a marching band but I know I can provide a letter to say Thank you or a pkg of fav cookies or even toothpaste (no corner store in those rocky mtns) with the help of Soldiers Angels. Don't think you can get anymore American than Red, White, and Blue to the heart of Soldiers Angels! As a vol through Soldiers Angels, I get to personally thank soldiers on the ground for all they do through SA Letter Writing Team. I also personally adopted a soldier through SA, putting a face behind the letters and boxes he receives from my family. Then there are the prog getting laptops to wounded soldiers in Hosp, Babyshowers for wives at home while the Dad's to be are serving overseas, and the list goes on ...

This organization is absolutely amazing in what they do. I have several friends and family members in the military. Some of them have received care packages and letters of support from members of the Soldiers' Angels, and they have repeatedly told me how helpful it was to them while they were so far from home. It is because of them that I joined the Soldiers' Angels myself in hopes to spread that same level of appreciation and support to other members of the military, especially those who may not have as much support from home. I actually heard back from some of those to whom I had sent letters telling me how much it meant to them to know they had my support and appreciation. Soldiers' Angels continues to do incredible things for the men and women of our military, and I am proud to say I volunteer through them.

I joined Soldiers' Angels about 4 years ago, maybe 5. I'd heard about it from a blog I was reading at the time and their mission to bring a piece of home to deployed soldiers through letters and care packages intrigued me. I checked out their website, read up on their organization, then put it under prayer to God. If I was going to do this, I needed to be sure I could fully commit myself to sending letters and care packages to the soldier I adopted. As they point out on the Soldiers' Angels site, this is serious business. After many months, I was sure that I would be able to support a soldier through my letters and packages. I can say that I've loved every single minute of my volunteer time with Soldiers' Angels. I've never needed them, but I know that if I had questions or needed support, someone from Soldiers' Angels would be there for me. They've grown and adapted over the years I've been with them, and they only seem to get better. I only wish I could afford to do more to support their efforts to uplift our military men and women and their families. As for what I've gotten out of my experiences...well, words aren't adequate to describe how much I've received by volunteering and by serving those who serve our country. When I sit down to write a letter, I give a piece of myself and my little life to a stranger, hoping it will take them out of their day for just a few moments. Perhaps bring a smile to their day. Having to stop and really look at my life every time I write to my soldier, it makes me see how blessed I am and how much God pours out his love for me. How could I not share those riches with someone who's far from their own family and friends? Since volunteering with Soldiers' Angels, I've found it's imossible to stay mired down in self-pity or self-absorption when I know my adoptee has given up more than I've ever been asked to give up...and they volunteered to do so. Soldiers' Angels has provided me with the priecless opportunity to serve those who serve all of us in this great nation. I can never thank them enough for allowing me this time to do my tiny part in giving back to our military.

The Great!

The letters and emails I've received back from some of my soldiers has made me that much more appreciative of them and all they do.

It would be nice to be more connected locally; to know if there is a local leader for Soldiers' Angels and if there are any activities for the organization that I could participate in as they come up.

To be a member of Soldiers' Angels is something I regard with great pride. To see the good things that are done by this organization is so up lifting. The lives that are touched count in very high numbers. While we are sometimes able to see the thanks in peoples eyes as they are being assisted, so many times our actions are felt in places very far from home. To be at an event and have someone come up and thank you for what they received while deployed, or a family member of a lost soldier coming up and thanking you for all Soldiers' Angels means to them, really makes your heart swell. If you have a love and respect for our military members, then you should also check out Soldiers' Angels. You may do so at www.soldiersangels.org.

Soldiers Angels has many programs to benefit the military and their families, and also veterans. My first experience with the group was when I adopted a deployed soldiers through them. I was able to send cards and packages and it made me feel good to be able to help a soldier who is so far from home. Soldiers Angels has many groups and projects where you can donate. If you can't adopt a solider, then you can use your talents to do some great work. I especially like the sewing team. I am aking a quilt to send and also have made a crocheted blanket of gratitude for a veteran in a VA hospital. Crocheting and knitting is part of the sewing team. It enables me to do my part in giving back and it warms my heart to be able to do so.

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I have heard back from my deployed adopted soldier and he assured me that they received the packages and it made his and his team's day!

I cannot think of any changes at the moment. They seem to be handling everything quite well!

Soldiers Angels has been such a blessing to me. I don't personally know anyone in the military but through this organization I have been able to adopt over 14 new friends since 2008. I have a heart for making sure our deployed know that they are remembered, loved and appreciated! Soldiers Angels makes it so easy.

I recently participated in a local festival. The guy in the booth next to me was doing so much bragging about our organization, that I didn't have to do much. It seems a friend of his had bragged about how much his Angel had done to get him through his deployment - even flying to meet him when he returned home.

These guys are so special and appreciate everything we do - we have to force them to tell us if there is any special wants or needs. Also important is that I have always had whatever support I neede from the organization. For our leadership in Patti to local SA's - if I need anything - they are there to help me.

Soldiers Angels - the nonprofit with heart and integrity...May no soldier go unloved!!!

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Having the guys I adopt write to me and tell me how much what we do means to them. A card or letter, a care package a month - it is so much fun and addictive to care for these guys and gals.

Ways to make it better...

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Provide the funds to build another warehouse on the east coast to help with the load and provide more employment opportunities for veterans and volunteers.

Definitely introduced new friends and helped me to be more aware of the impact our military has on an individual level.

How did this volunteer experience make you feel?

Like I have an opportunity to reach individuals who are deployed to make a difference in their lives.

I have been a part of this wonderful group for 5 or so years. I first joined to send care packages to someone since everyone that I knew who was deployed already came home. This has been on of the best things that I have ever done! Because of Soldiers' Angels I have met great honest people that would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it. I have had wonderful opportunities to help not only our deployed military aboard, but the homeless veterans for the last three years we have volunteered with the local VA hospital to help with their Stand Down as well as given them donations, If you are looking for a great way to support our troops both active and our veterans this program is one of the best!

The Great!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Being part of homecomings, talking with families who have people deployed. Talking and listening to the veterans as well as other angels in the state of Alaska.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

not make any all of my experiences have been great!
