The Gratitude Card collection is a great way to show your support of the troops, to inspire your loved ones to get involved and to share your gratitude directly with a service member. Annually, thousands of Operation Gratitude supporters volunteer their time and make donations to help boost the morale of our deployed service men and women.

So, in support of our military, inspire your family and friends to get involved by sending a Gratitude card.

Operation Gratitude annually sends 100,000+ care packages filled with snacks, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation addressed to individually named U.S. Service Members deployed in hostile regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and on Naval ships at sea.

The mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member’s face and express to our Armed Forces the appreciation and support of the American people. Each package contains donated product valued at ~$125 and costs the organization $15 to assemble and ship. For safety and security, assembling of packages occurs at the Army National Guard Armory in Van Nuys, California. Since its inception in 2003, Operation Gratitude volunteers have shipped more than 550,000 packages to American Military deployed overseas.
