My Nonprofit Reviews

Our Experience with Summit Supports our Troops was very personal and deeply profound: Our family and friends truly appreciate and admire the exemplary work of SSOT on behalf of our deployed troops, veterans and their families. It is evident to the surrounding communities of Summit how very important the organization's mission is to our troops. However, as parents of a United States Marine, the personal support and efforts to connect military families to one another and recognition of our deployed servicemen and Veterans, has been invaluable and very personal to us, especially during the extremely difficult time of our son’s deployment to Iraq. As a family, we have been honored to serve as volunteers, ambassadors and ultimately, recipients of the support, love, friendship and important mission of Summit Supports our Troops. Having this exemplary organization available to us and by our side has, and continues to truly provide us with strength, support and enormous pride. Our son’s deployment was bearable knowing an organization such as SSOT was by our side recognizing our son’s service and the commitment of his fellow Marines, by writing letters and sending communication and packages to his entire unit in Iraq. This recognition truly provided these servicemen and women with the emotional support from home they needed and got them through extremely difficult times and kept them motivated and focused. At home, having this organization available as a resource to connect our family with others who shared in our experience provided us with much needed emotional support . Being able to work with this organization provided me with a much needed focus, as I found comfort in being proactive during my son’s deployment. We have been delighted and honored to attend events hosted by SSOT, such as the Family Breakfast and A Tribute To Our Troops, it was truly wonderful having our son honored, along with other servicemen and women. In addition to sharing that privilege, it was a delight to meet and connect with other military families who have either already shared the heartache, fear, and pride of having a loved one deployed, or those who are about to experience that difficult period. It was our pleasure to be able to offer advice and support to families who are about to face the same arduous task of waiting for their child to return home. We truly appreciated SSOT for hosting these events, which connects military families, we all share a bond and need one another. As difficult as our son’s active duty was for our family, the support and friendship we have received from the SSOT family and friends, new and old, has given us much joy and needed strength. We are committed to supporting this outstanding organization forever!
