How do you brighten up the day of someone who's feeling a bit neglected? M&Ms! About $90,000 worth!
SupportOurTroops.Org has just shipped two pallets of M&Ms® to field hospital and commissary-gift type huts soldiers first reach when they fall back from the front lines. A fun thank-you and morale booster straight from the civilians here at home to tell them we know they are there, appreciate them, and are doing everything we can as civilians to support them.
Who did this? Support Our Troops® and an Eagles chapter in Florida teamed up to pull this off for the troops.
Does your company have anything we could send to the troops?
Would your chain store run one of our programs to collect goods for the troops and their families or help us raise money?
Isn't it time to show them how much your company cares?

Each sampler contains 1 Naturals Men's Face Scrub mix, 1 Natural Men's Shave mix, and 1 Naturals Men's shave cream. Extras the troops are eager to get.
It is destined for field hospital and commissary-gift type huts soldiers reach first when they fall back from the front lines.
