NOT FORGOTTEN is a non-profit organization that exists to support our troops. Our Vision is to see soldiers return home to their families a better person; mentally whole and spiritually fulfilled. Our mission is to inspire, encourage, and lift the spirits of soldiers, while serving our country away from their families. It is often stated that “We are the land of the "FREE". Well we want to assure you that it is not FREE. There is a price being paid for our freedom. Freedom is not FREE. Our troops are being sent to Iraq and Afghanistan and are suffering tremendous losses. Troops are constantly being injured and oftentimes, lose their lives for the cause of freedom. Even if a troop comes back without any physical damage, they return with mental damage.
Our troops have been in war zones since 2001. Many troops have been deployed every other year, which causes them to miss out on much of their family’s lives. They do not get to return home and celebrate holidays with the rest of their family. Instead, they are stuck in the hot desert fighting for our country. We want to let them know that we have not forgotten them. How can we do that? By sending letters, donations, and goods to them.
We are reaching out for help to make our soldiers proud to serve our country and feel appreciated in the process. There are various mailing and shipping laws that prohibit certain items from being sent. We have partnered with the United States Postal Services to verify what those items are. We are asking for your help by providing products, letters, or monetary donations.
Items that will be purchased with your donations include material & shipping charges, inspirational readings, snacks, and various seasonal gifts of love.
