U.S., Jan. 8, 2024 - SF soldier volunteers Bulldog, Razor, et al, sorted medical supplies to take with different teams to different deployments. Then they stuck around and helped do some general organizing. Lots of fun and laughter!   SOT introduced them to a lunch of pool hall hot dogs! The particular facility is supposed to be briefly closed post-holiday crunch, but has had many, many tasks every day accommodating various movements. All Together Now!®

LETTER FROM A SOLDIER’S MOM

America, Oct 27, 2023 - My son who is deployed overseas received his first care package today.  He video called me to show me what he got. Let me tell you this meant the world to him! He was excited about everything showing me the hand made gifts and he yelled "Mom there's girl scout cookies!" One thing that really touched his heart was the hand made cards from everyone and children. He told me he started to cry reading them. There was one young man that wrote about his own struggles and asked for him to respond if he could. My son felt sad he couldn't find a way to respond as he left no contact info. He really wants to. This made me so happy to hear his excitement.  For him to know that others care so much. Thank you for all you do. You are making a difference in these soldiers lives. ❤️ 

sincerely, [----]

OCONUS, 2023-05-13 - I hope this message finds you well. I am writing on behalf of a group of our brave service members currently deployed overseas. They are in need of some basic necessities that can make their challenging circumstances a bit more comfortable. Snacks, hygiene products, allergy meds as it is very dusty. Specifically, they are in need of hygiene products and snacks. Items like toothpaste, soap, deodorant, shaving cream, razors, wet wipes, as well as non-perishable snacks would make a significant difference in their daily lives.
These items not only fulfill basic needs but also bring a touch of home and a reminder that they are in our thoughts and appreciated. Our service members always strive to give their best, and your support can help them maintain their health, morale, and focus on their important work.
We understand that your organization has a history of generously supporting our troops, and we would be incredibly grateful if you could consider our request. Thank you for your time and consideration. We appreciate all that you do for our brave men and women in uniform.

~~ [   ]  Miguel [    ]

Obviously you must be a US citizen and able to pass any security check and drug test including marijuana. You can work from anywhere.Send a link to your portfolio of edgy, catchy, exceptional, intros, outros, and work to This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you’re a bean counter, measuring and marking every minute you spend, and charging for every breath you take, do not apply.You will be dealing with a group of hard-core mission-focused civilians and ex-mils. So to be among cool, you have to be cool. And the job requires that you do cool work that draws attention and increases the benefits so that we may serve our troops better. That is the mission. We typically supply B-roll, the script, some graphics, and fill in any gaps you need.
