There are over 100,000 soldiers arriving in Iraq in the spring of 2005. There are many here at home who care.

Help us connect groups who would love to sponsor a platoon with platoons who can benefit so much from this kind of support.
Many organizations would jump at a chance to support our soldiers.

Kiwanis Clubs, Rotary Clubs, VFWs, Elks Clubs, schools many government agencies
and corporate organizations would pitch in with support if they only knew how.

We are actively seeking individuals to join us in spreading the word about the PlatoonAdoptions.com idea. It is not a hard sell... there is a large pool of Americans who care very much about our soldiers. We will supply any interested individuals with a simple set of materials to pitch platoon adoptions to groups in your community.

If you are a veteran, parent of a soldier, family member, child of a veteran, or connected in any way with a soldier, past or present, you know the nature of their role and the contribution and sacrifice they make for us. All of them give some. Some give all. You can help make their time of service better.

We can provide you with materials to make presentations to groups in your community - MANY would like to learn how to support our troops. If you are willing to give it a try, we will support you. Look at the list of groups above - they're all around you, all you have to do is ask them if you could tell them about the PlatoonAdoptions.com concept. Prepare to be impressed with their response.
