Adopt-A-Platoon

Hello wonderful patriots! My name is Ida Hägg and I'm sending a quick note on behalf of the AdoptaPlatoon. We are in urgent need for married / family supporters for our deployed married soldiers in Afghanistan and particular, Iraq. You should have already received your soldier(s), but I'm writing to ask for a favor. Would you help by spreading the word in your community that our soldiers need us? Please, let your friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors know that the AAP has thousands of deployed married soldiers on our database and yet, we do not have enough families to link them. It's hard to believe how many soldiers we have on our rosters. The AAP does not have the funding for advertising and must depend on volunteers and word of mouth to operate. So please, if you would spread the word of this need, we and our soldiers would be deeply grateful.

The information we need from potential supporters can be found on our website at www.adoptaplatoon.org by clicking on "How to Support a Soldier" or they can send their name, ground mailing address, evening phone number and the information that they are a family willing to "adopt" a U.S. deployed service member to:

Nanny Fran
AdoptaPlatoon
P.O. Box 674
Kingston, N.H. 03848

We pray that God will bless each and every blessing you send to the troops. Never forget that your support means so much! Thank you and God bless, ida - ida@adoptaplatoon.org Due to the huge amount of AAP work, I will not be able to respond to this email.

AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort
Mission Statement

The AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort is a nonprofit 501C-3 organization managed nationwide by volunteer mothers to ensure that deployed United States Service members in all branches of the military are not forgotten and to promote patriotism in our schools and communities. To provide a better deployment quality of life, lift morale, and assist military families, the AAP created projects that meet the need of military requests, established special projects for holidays, and assigns individual morale lifting mail support to service members of all braches of the U.S. military serving their Nation around the world.
