Help Us Celebrate Independence Day Through Our “Spirit of 1776” Drive
Celebrate the Spirit of ’76 this 4th of July! Don’t forget to be thankful for our troops protecting us as they serve around the globe. Let’s take time to reflect on our great nation and our privilege to live in peace, prosperity, and unity under one flag of freedom. America’s unique unquenchable spirit has a special name, the Spirit of ’76. We’re not talking 1976, we are going all the way back to our foundation, July 4th, 1776.
America’s troops embody the Spirit of ’76. Fighting shoulder to shoulder our brave men and women in uniform protect us at home and away and have throughout the ages with much of their sacrifice written in blood, sweat, and tears.
Join us in celebrating the Spirit of ’76 with our special Spirt of 1776 care package drive honoring our troops on the 4th of July. Military families and Troops from all over the world request care packs every day to sign up on our ship list to get a little support from home. Help us to help these troops as we ship 1,776 packages to our troops as a great big thank you for our freedom!
Spirit of ’76 care packages will go to troops serving on the front lines all over the world representing all branches of our military. We’re talking Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Space Force, National Guard, and Reservists. Believe us, our troops, no matter which branch or where they are called to action, can use and deserve our support!
Summer is heating up and it’s a dangerous time for our troops throughout the world. We still have tens of thousands of troops standing guard at bases spread across the Middle East. We have troops engaged in the Middle East, Somalia and North Africa, as well as over 100,000 troops spread across Europe. Many of them are helping to train and equip Ukrainian defense forces against the Russians invading their land.
Due to rising postal costs, shipping becomes a more pressing concern in meeting our troops needs. Because of this reality, we are feeling the squeeze like many Americans. As most of you are aware, shipping to our troops is not free, and postal costs have risen steadily over time which really puts a big crunch on us to be able to support our troops. However, we work hard to meet the necessary costs involved with doing so, by utilizing our large fleet of volunteers who come in regularly to help us pack and prep boxes for shipment along with collecting product donations among other cost-saving measures.
This 4th of July would you like to help our as a special “Troop Angel”, you can help us specifically with the direct cost of shipping these packages. The US Post Office charges close to $18 per box to ship these individually addressed care packages to each one of our troops. To send 1,776 of them will cost us almost $32,000 so we’ve set our goal to reach $30,000 in the hopes that we can get as close as possible or surpass it so we can pay for the postage to ship these boxes!
Our troops are experiencing a lack of support thus we need to step up. Speak our for our troops. Join us in asserting American people still appreciate their sacrifice and all they do to keep us safe. If you would like to help out as a special Angel for our troops, we would sure appreciate your help!

Photo of the Month
We are very grateful for any and all support sent to us. It would make everyone’s time much better being away from family. Our Infantry company has many new soldiers that are fresh from basic training and were immediately sent on deployment as well as a hand full of soldiers that have wives that are expecting and cannot be with them during this time.
Receiving support from this organization and its donors, will make a big difference to all of the soldier’s moral.
