MISSION
Soldiers R U.S. is a non-profit that has sent 8000 care packages overseas to our troops.
Through local school districts, volunteer organizations and individuals donating travel size items, we can now show them a touch of home and hopefully build their morale. We also specialize in supporting our troops as they return home and try to acclimate back into society and its pressures. This is why we try decompressing as many troops as possible every year by bringing them to professional and x-treme sporting events.
