America Supports You
America Supports You is a Department of Defense program that provides opportunities for citizens to show their support for the US Armed Forces. The program was launched in 2004 in an effort to highlight citizen support for our military men and women and communicate that support to the members of our Armed Forces at home and abroad.
America Supports You connects individuals, organizations and companies to hundreds of homefront groups offering a variety of support to the military community.
The program also connects military service members and their families to homefront groups that provide assistance.
The America Supports You website, www.AmericaSupportsYou.mil, provides a one-stop location for citizens and service members to connect with hundreds organizations eager to help.
America Supports You homefront groups show support in many ways including writing letters and e-mails, sending care packages, offering scholar­ships and helping the wounded when they return home. Dozens of corporations, recognized on the website, are also America Supports You supporters.
More information on the program/how to register is available at AmericaSupportsYou.mil.
