SA_THANKSSoldiers’ Angels is a volunteer-led non-profit organization providing aid and comfort to the men and women of the United States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and their families. Founded by the mother of two American soldiers, they are an international, volunteer-led organization supporting America’s men and women in uniform.  With over 30 different teams and projects, our nearly 200,000 volunteers assist veterans, wounded and deployed personnel and their families in a variety of unique and effective ways.

“May No Soldier Go Unloved,” encapsulates the motivation behind Soldiers’ Angels. The volunteers of Soldiers’ Angels work tirelessly to demonstrate active care and concern for veterans, the wounded, deployed service members and their families.

To date, their volunteers have sent hundreds of thousands of care packages and letters to deployed service members; they have supplied the wounded with their First Response Packs directly at the Combat Support Hospitals in Iraq and Afghanistan and the major military hospital in Germany, as well as provided care and comfort to those in stateside military and VA facilities.

They have provided emergency aid to military families in need; they have partnered with the Department of Defense to provide voice-controlled/adaptive laptops to nearly 3,000 severely-wounded servicemembers, as well as other technology that supports rehabilitation; they have provided flights to soldiers on leave or in emergency situations, and to their families wanting to be with them upon return from overseas; they have provided Level III KEVLAR armored blankets to give personnel extra protection in their vehicles when it was needed.

They help to honor and uphold the families whose loved ones have paid the ultimate price for our freedom and safety. With the assistance of their generous supporters , the many volunteers of Soldiers’ Angels have accomplished this and much, much more on behalf of the grateful citizens of the United States of America.
