“The community is essential to provide support and recognize soldiers. Raising awareness can be difficult and poses challenges when it comes to protecting peoples privacy, especially when a family member is deployed. Having an organization who can raise awareness and support is huge. It makes it easier for us to do what we do.”

Sarah P., Support Siouxland Soldiers

“We are always looking for ways to gain support and increase awareness. Everything we do is dependent on getting people behind us and building credibility. The visibility that will come from a national organization advocating for us will help us be able to do more and send more support to our troops.”

Lindsey R., Boots For Troops

“Your advocacy of small support groups for the deployed military helps in ways you can’t imagine.  Most of us are so busy hunting for sponsors or scratching for donations we have little time to spend growing our base.”
