Review for Adopt A Platoon, Lozano, TX, USA
No matter how long I work with Adopt a Platoon, it will never be long enough!!For as long as there are men and women fighting and standing strong so that I can live in freedom and without fear...that is how long I will volunteer for this group. I have met friends whom I will hold dear for life. I have met unnamed soldiers who will never again be strangers. I have met countless interested parties who ask me, "What do you do?" It is always with pride that I say, "I work for Adopt a Platoon.... here's my card." For all that Adopt a Platoon has taught me, the greatest lesson of all has been this: There is no small purpose in life, as long as that purpose makes bigger the life of another. Thank you Adopt a Platoon!!!!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My sense of personal purpose. The lives of soldiers whom I've adopted. The feedback of individuals, troops and squadrons who have benefited from the selfless time and money dedicated to supporting them.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
step carefully in the footsteps of the wonderful women who have led me down this journey. No complaints whatsoever.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The support and friendships I have developed with relative strangers, simply because we have a common goal. It's awesome!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Aware. Kind. Patient. Understanding. Serious. Playful. Creative. Introspective. Selfless. Unwavering. Teachable. Tough. Compassionate. Dedicated. Flexible. They care as much about one another as they do the cause to which their lives are dedicated.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Hire full-time professionals in order to take the pressure and the load off of those who often have so many irons in the fire that everything is hot.
Ways to make it better...
More people were aware of the needs of our men and women serving in our military. Only time and outreach can achieve this goal. The women and men who are at the head of this lovely beast are doing a wonderful job and I am proud to play even a small part.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Communicating over the far stretches of the Unites States. Organizing the many fingers involved in reaching out a hand. Gaining the widespread support needed to fulfill the needs of our military.
One thing I'd also say is that...
I am proud to work with Adopt a Platoon and I am even prouder to know the sincere folks who have dedicated their time, money and lives to this worthy cause. I can only hope to be them one day.
