What Parents and Caregivers are Saying...

 

I saw your link through military.com and I think that the service you offer our military children is wonderful!!  I am the Group Family Readiness Support Assistant and would  love to work with your organization and put some smiles on our kids' faces.  Please send any information you have on requesting dolls.  Michelle, Fort Lee, VA

I am a platoon leader for a team deployed in support of OIF. Many of my Soldiers have small children who they had to leave at home to support their country. I would like to request deployment dolls for my Soldiers to send back home to their kids. It would really mean a lot and make a difference to these military families  CW2, Iraq

My husband is deploying for the second time in 5 years to the Middle-East. We are expecting our first child one month before he deploys. I would love to have one of these dolls for her. I know this will not be his last deployment, and I love the idea of her having the doll from the beginning to comfort her when daddy is gone.   Leslie in PA
