The purpose of this organization is to provide a place where anyone can send letters to active duty or veteran members of the forces. They give locations where you can drop of your letters and they mail them out or you can mail them to their head location and then they mail them out to troops. This organization gives the members of the military support and encouragement for all they do and all they have sacrificed. They not only deliver letters but also hold donations, so they are able to send care packages and essential needs to the ones currently serving.
Not only can any community give recognition for these hard-working solders, but they also can helo them once they have come back from overseas jobs. There is a program called ‘Fund A Scholar’ where the program helps members of the military complete their degree or find a future once they are either retiring out or simply wanting a degree for progress forward in their lives.
Making a difference means a lot of different things to people and we all consider different opportunities when we are preparing to make our difference. Soldiers Angels gives you the opportunity to express gratitude to the ones who are sacrificing more than just a job. They are putting their life at risk in order to keep this country safe, this organization helps the community appreciate the ones serving and lets them know that they have support when they get back or here right now. They are wanting every service member to be aware of the opportunities available to them because of the service they have done for all. Not only can the community reach out and help these soldiers, but they are giving them resources to live once they come back to the states.
This would be a great partnership to have for a classroom or a whole school because it just takes a little bit of time each day to write a letter thanking a service member for there service. This organization is the lifeline to getting the letters to those soldiers and connects your class with people that would be unreachable. You can request to get letters back firm the ones we send them to or you can merely keep it an open gesture and show your students the importance of kindness and gratitude without expecting something in return.
