Q. What is Soldiers’ Angels?
A. With over 180,000 volunteers, Soldiers’ Angels is the nation’s largest all-volunteer military support
organization. Its mission is to provide aid and comfort to the men and women of the United
States Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard, and their families. Soldiers’ Angels was
incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in June 2003.
Q. How did Soldiers’ Angels get started?
A. Soldiers’ Angels was founded by Patti Patton-Bader in the summer of 2003. Her son, Brandon, who
is serving in the Army and was deployed to Iraq, wrote to his mom expressing concern about some
of the soldiers who were not receiving any mail or support from home. Within a few short months,
Soldiers’ Angels grew from one mom writing a few extra letters to a huge internet-based, volunteer
organization with thousands of volunteer angels across the country.
Q. Who has recognized Soldiers’ Angels for its work?
A. Patti and Soldiers’ Angels have received numerous awards and thousands of letters of appreciation
from our deployed soldiers and their families. Special recognition has come from the President of
the United States, the Secretary of Defense, the Surgeon General of the Army, Military Order of the
Purple Heart and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Most recently, Microsoft Corporation and
the USO selected Soldiers’ Angels from over 250 of the nation’s military support organizations to
receive their coveted “Above and Beyond Award” for tireless efforts to brighten the lives of U.S.
Troops throughout the world.
Q. How does Soldiers’ Angels help our soldiers now?
A. Soldiers’ Angels supports our deployed military personnel stationed wherever we raise our
nation’s flag. Soldiers’ Angels volunteer continue to send hundreds of thousands of letters and
care packages to our deployed heroes. They provide phone cards and cooling scarves for soldiers
serving in desert conditions. They provide the wounded with First Response Backpacks, and
comfort those who are in our military hospitals here at home. They provide financial assistance
and other aid to military families in need. Soldiers’ Angels also commemorates the loss of our
soldiers with a living tree planted in their honor. Through its VALOUR-IT program, Soldiers’ Angels
distributes laptop computers with voice-activated software to severely wounded soldiers who
have lost the use of their hands. These laptops provide wounded soldiers with a vital lifeline to
friends and family. More than 2,000 VALOUR-IT laptops have been distributed so far.
