Skrunda, Latvia (April 30, 2022): The U.S. Marines have landed… in Eastern Europe.
In this photo by Lance Corporal Angel Travis, U.S. Marines from 1st Battalion, 6th Marines maneuver through a forest during Exercise Saber Strike, an annual field training exercise to integrate American military units with the armies of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland in any potential conflict with Russia.
All four of these countries have, at some point in their history, felt the heavy boot of Russia on their collective necks. Each fell under Soviet occupation after World War II,
enduring a cruel dictatorship for 60 years. Each surviving attempts to wash out its domestic population and beliefs with imposed massive influx of an outside population. Each has joined NATO to guard against further Russian aggression and are on the front lines should Vladimir Putin expand his war on Ukraine. America is committing elite units, like the 6th Marines, to reinforce our friends and to counter potential enemies.

Tampa, June 7, 2022 – SOT just participated with banking industry representatives to block a banking fraud in Miami, Florida. The thieves sought to rob the soldiers deployed overseas of precious hard earned money intended for their support. Lowest are those who scam the troops, cheat off their backs, or interfere with those good people who are trying to help them. SupportOurTroops.Org operates the Fraud Sentry Program that works to prevent troop-related fraud, and to assist those who have been a victim to identify legitimate places where they can fulfill their desire to bolster the active-duty troops.

Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany (May 22, 2022): When America’s moms faced a dire infant formula shortage, the American military swung into action. This crisis presents a unique opportunity for American servicemembers to do good for the nation.
The U.S. Department of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services have requested the Department of Defense to rapidly transport infant formula to the United States to help alleviate these shortages. In this photo by Airmen 1st Class Jared Lovett, Airmen from the 721st Aerial Port Squadron load a pallet of infant formula onto a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft assigned to Pearl Harbor-Hickam Airfield, Hawaii, at Ramstein Air Force Base, Germany. The formula arrived from Switzerland as part of the U.S. Government’s Operation Fly Formula program.
American servicemembers are there when we need them. These airmen enjoyed helping America’s moms and we should be proud of their performance. How can WE be there when they need us?

Tallahassee, FL. (May 30, 2022) Anyone who has run out of groceries a week before pay day can identify with the plight of our most junior servicemembers and their families. Trying to support a family on a private’s pay has never been easy, but its even more difficult in these inflationary times. At Support Our Troops, we believe no servicemember and his family should go hungry while risking their lives to protect this nation.
That is why we provide millions in food assistance to military families deployed around the globe. Our logistics team coordinates with 20 plus military commissaries and base exchanges to provide free food assistance to warrior families that need them. It is estimated that Support Our Troops donations save the average military family up to $160.00 a month, freeing up funds they can use for other things.
Won’t you help?
