Each week, Soldiers' Angels highlights a different picture on our homepage, showing the activities of Angels and the heroes they support. Here are previous featured pictures, beginning in January 2010...

| Recently Soldiers' Angels sent a box of handmade Sand Scarves to a chaplain (right) in Iraq. He sent this picture and wrote: "Thank you so much for sending us your loving care and support. I received your kind and gracious sand scarves. Hooah! That is the greatest gift to us here [as we] face the next phase... [to] help our troops to maintain their good health during this coming phase." |

| Dogs trained to interact with people in need of emotional support are proving very helpful for veterans with severe physical or emotional wounds (i.e. PTSD). Under the guidance of Patsy Swendson, Soldiers' Angels is developing a team of "Support Dogs." This is one of the first two dogs of the new team in action. |

| The medics of C Company, 2-141st Infantry in Iraq received a shipment of snacks, t-shirts and other goodies. To pay it forward, they made this picture and are sending it to families and employers back home, encouraging people to support Soldiers' Angels. |
 |
| Something as simple as sheets that can be placed inside their bedrolls are a luxury for forward-deployed troops. These Marines shared their joy and gratitude with pictures.
A list of other appreciated items can be found here.
