SGT. RYAN NUPEN

Getting mail in general and especially care packages is better

than Christmas. Christmas you know people get you things and
theres a sense that you are required to give gifts. Care
packages mean the world to us because its a chance to get in
touch with home again, you feel connected with the people we
are defending and its because they willingly thought of us and
sent us a moral booster.

AAUSS MISSION STATEMENT

To honor active US military personnel, Adopt A US Soldier is a

501c3 volunteer-based organization that connects supportive


civilians with deployed troops and offers a channel by which to
communicate encouragement and express gratitude to the
