1	Semper Fi Fund When an OEF/OIF Marine or Sailor, or other OEF/OIF service member assigned to Marine forces is injured, their entire family shares the pain and the burden of recovery. Normal life is put on hold as loved ones travel great distances, at a moment’s notice, to be at the bedside, often for weeks or months. Recovery from major catastrophic injuries may take our service members several years to recover. The family members take leave from their jobs, often without pay, and incur additional expenses for child-care, lodging, travel, and other necessities. Few families are prepared for the expenses they face. They need help, and they need it quickly. The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund was created to meet this need.	82
2	Soldiers Angels As a volunteer-based nonprofit, we have over 30 different teams supporting all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Through special projects, dedicated teams and individuals supporting our troops, we make a visible difference in the lives of our service members and their families.	76
3	Wounded Warrior Project The mission of the Wounded Warrior Project is to honor and empower wounded warriors. PURPOSE * To raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women, * To help severely injured service members aid and assist each other, and * To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members.	358
4	USO The USO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the troops by providing morale, welfare and recreation-type services to our men and women in uniform. The original intent of Congress — and enduring style of USO delivery — is to represent the American people by extending a touch of home to the military. The USO currently operates more than 135 centers worldwide, including ten mobile canteens located in the continental United States and overseas. Overseas centers are located in Germany, Italy, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, Qatar, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guam and Kuwait. Service members and their families visit USO centers more than 6.9 million times each year. The USO is the way the American public supports the troops.	78
5	Spirit Of America Spirit of America fulfills requests from American military personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa for goods that will help local people. This improves relations, makes our troops safer and saves lives. Your donation is tax-deductible.	98
6	American Military Family, Inc. MISSION STATEMENT Our mission is to honor and support all members of the United States Military and their families, who together serve and sacrifice so much for all of us as they protect and defend our freedom. VISION STATEMENT Our vision is to recognize, thank and extend appreciation to all members of the military and their families VALUES We value honor, respect, sacrifice, recognition, and freedom, service to country, loyalty and patriotism.	113
7	Wounded Warrior Regiment The Wounded Warrior Regiment's mission is to provide and facilitate assistance to wounded/injured/ill Marines, Sailors attached to or in support of Marine units, and their family members throughout the phases of recovery.	106
8	Any Soldier Any Soldier Inc. is different from every other effort in a number of important ways; it was started because of a Combat Infantry Soldier on the ground in Iraq who gave excellent suggestions on what to send, it is run by a retired Army Soldier who knows the look on a Soldier's face when they get mail, and when they don't. It is a completely volunteer effort where you have the chance to show your support, in whatever way you want, directly to Soldiers you select, and that is why this is so successful. Any Soldier Inc. will continue to grow, improve, and with your help, make the lives of our Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors just a bit better in that they will know we care and appreciate their sacrifice.	76
9	Always Support Our Heroes Many veterans tell me they have never been thanked for the service they performed 30 to 35 years ago. People would spit on their uniforms when they returned from Vietnam and scoff at what they had done. That was a different time and a different era, where many of our military were drafted. They were just doing what they were ordered to do. Whether from that generation or the men and women of today and tomorrow ~ I do what I do, to salute YOU. From the depths of my soul, I believe you are a true American Hero. That is why I have followed Gods call to honor our military, and do all that I can, so no one feels alone on the battlefield, or when they return.	52
10	Adopt-A- Hero The Adopt a Hero Program is a free service to help people adopt service personnel overseas. We simply make the connection between the adoptee and the service personnel.	34
