Additional Recognition & Awards
Soldiers' Angels and its founder have received a great deal of recognition for our tireless support of America’s military personnel. Awards have poured forth from all levels of the military, veterans organizations, politicians, charitable foundations and community organizations. These accolades are certainly not our motivation, but we humbly accept them as evidence that our efforts make a difference, and we are most grateful for the opportunities they provide us to highlight the importance of actively supporting the men, women and families of America's armed forces in this time of war.
