We Will Never Forget: Thanking Heroes

“Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.”
–President George W. Bush

Our country is still strong, and a great people has indeed been moved to defend our great nation. We will never forget, and we will be forever grateful.

We are saying “thank you” to the men and women who put themselves in harm’s way by sending our First Responder Thank You Kits to the heroes who are assisting in the current Disaster Relief Efforts, and to all Firefighters and Law Enforcement personnel nationwide. We continue to send our hallmark Operation Gratitude Care Packages to our deployed Military as well.

About Operation Gratitude

Operation Gratitude annually sends 200,000+ care packages to Veterans, First Responders, New Recruits, Wounded Heroes, their Care Givers, and to individually named U.S. service members deployed overseas and their families waiting at home. Each package is filled with food, entertainment, hygiene and hand-made items, as well as personal letters of support. Our mission is to lift the spirits and meet the evolving needs of the Military and First Responder communities, and provide volunteer opportunities for civilians anywhere in America to express their appreciation to all who serve our nation. Each package contains donated product valued between $45 and $100 and costs our organization $15 to assemble and ship. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than 1.6 Million Care Packages.
