Review for Operation Support our Troops- America, Naperville, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I became an OSOT America volunteer before our Marine son deployed to Iraq & Afghanistan. While attending many "Welcome Homes" for our returning troops over the years, our troops have told me face to face how much it means to them, to have strangers care and support them far away from home. It was important for them to know they are not forgotten and that America support them. My Marine son told me the OSOT care packages, and the cards / letters from school children, put a big smile on Marines' faces. OSOT America reaches out not only to deployed troops, but also to support many organizations such as Fischer House, that care for our Wounded Warriors, and conduct Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury research to aid our veterans. Being an Operation Support Our Troops America volunteer has been a life-changing experience for me. Our volunteers are the best people I have met in my life, who lovingly sacrifice their time and efforts for our troops. For me to personally see "The Look" of thanks in the eyes of our returning troops (including my Marine), is all that I need.
