Welcome to The Proud Patriots |

||||||||
Proud Patriots is a group of private American citizens working to ensure that our brave military heroes receive the support we believe they deserve. We are a group of friends who love our country and our military. We started sending care packages, e-mails, and snail mail to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. When others became aware of what we were doing, they started asking for names and they began to tell others. We soon learned that there were others who wanted to help, they just weren't sure how to go about doing it (the “Any Soldier” program had been discontinued by the Department of Defense). The goal of Proud Patriots is to get schools, churches, synagogues, businesses, as well as the public, involved. We at Proud Patriots provide a centralized network of support for our military and their families. Proud Patriots, while not directly affiliated with the military, currently supports all military branches including the National Guard and the Reservists. Donations to Proud Patriots are shipped to these various units as a show of support from their fellow Americans. Our goal is to run several campaigns throughout the year, loosely centered around holidays…Easter/Passover, 4th of July, Oktoberfest, and Christmas/Hanukkah. We send care packages, e-mail, and snail mail to our troops stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Africa, as well as individuals stationed in several other countries and on deployed ships. Knowing that people back home are thinking about them brightens their day.
