We’ve always considered ourselves lucky to be able to partner with so many visionary people and organizations. And we’ve learned that the best way to honor their work is to provide them with the support they need to do the task at hand. That’s why we responded so quickly when a friend of ours asked for help providing “morale boosters” to a unit of U.S. Marines serving in Afghanistan.

It’s inarguable that the men and women on the ground are carrying a heavy burden and need/deserve our support. The unit we supported, USMC 2^nd, EOD, is active in the Marwan province—an area of great danger and stress. The Unit compiled a wish list of things they needed and we were happy to have our small contribution of care package items be added to a larger movement of support. We hope that the small comforts of home will lift their spirits and let them know that we honor their service and commitment to protecting our freedom.

For more information on how you can also support our troops and their families in small and large ways visit the USO website or that of the Joining Forces initiative.
