Daytona Beach, FL, September 7, 2012 Floridians now can make a donation to our nation's military men and women when they apply for or renew their driver's license or vehicle registration, either online or in person. Option to Check the Box and Help the Troops becama available July 1, 2012 !!! By simply checking a box and indicating the amount they wish to donate, state residents can be part of the nationwide Support Our Troops®
campaign to enhance the well-being and morale of military members and their families. Representatives of SupportOurTroops.Org expect the voluntary donation check box to generate more than $60,000 annually for care packages, food treats and other support programs that the organization provides for the troops and their families. The new option was made possible in great part by a donation from Melbourne-based Harris Corporation, which contributed $10,000 to pay the fee charged by the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles for computer programming costs to add the service. Harris is an international communications and information technology company serving government and commercial markets in more than 150 countries. "We asked hundreds of Florida companies to donate this fee," said Martin C. Boire, chairman of Support Our Troops, Inc. "It was the Harris Corporation that stepped up. Our troops don't say 'no' when they are asked to deploy and risk their lives for us and for our families. And Harris said 'yes!' to the troops.

Organized by Goodyear for SupportOurTroops.Org, it was conducted at the Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan as part of Goodyear's Give-Back program, now in his third year with Support Our Troops®. It was a great opportunity for local troop-support groups to connect. Julie Watrous, now with Operation Cuppa Joe organize it locally and was there to help package the care boxes, something she is well experienced in. And the good folks from Faith Baptist Chapel in Napoleon Michigan which have a very good care package program led by Teri Behnke, participated with over 20 volunteer members. Half of these were adults, and half were high school students. With folks like these America is in for a very bright future!
