Support our troops – Freedom Alliance

Support our troops!
Support our troops!

 

Dear Mrs. Figgins:
We read your column and know how much you honor our troops. 
If at all possible, please share this wonderful organization with your readers:  the Freedom Alliance, founded by Lt. Col Oliver North
The Freedom Alliance Support Our Troops program supports our wounded and recuperating troops. There are more than 12,000 servicemen and women in Warrior Transition Units on military bases all around the country.  American heroes are recovering from their injuries and many will return to active duty; others will transition to civilian life.
Hosting Troop Appreciation Events, including dinners and Christmas parties for combat-wounded troops and their families stationed at military bases and Wounded Warrior Transition Units around the country to show them how truly grateful our country is for their sacrifice.
Freedom Alliance delivers Christmas gifts to military families who need our help at this special time of year.  Last year, through the generosity of Freedom Alliance supporters gave over 5,000 Christmas gift bags to our wounded service members and their families. 
Freedom Alliance provides financial aid grants and gift cards to servicemen and women in need.  Last year, Freedom Alliance supporters made it possible to provide over $225,000 in financial aid grants to our brave defenders of freedom in military hospitals around the United States.
Freedom Alliance “Gifts from Home” project ships care packages to our troops serving overseas.  During the Christmas season, they will ship hundreds of “Gifts from Home” boxes containing thousands of requested and needed items, including prepaid international calling cards, candy, toiletries, games, non-perishable food, Germ-X hand sanitizer, books, magazines, DVDs, CDs and so much more!
Freedom Alliance provides support for military families through “Adopt-A-Military Family” project, which brings Holiday joy to families in need, with Christmas gifts they might not otherwise afford – all wrapped and delivered to their homes before Christmas.
For your readers who may want to help support our troops this holiday season, please provide this link:
