Adopt A US Soldier Mission Statement

To honor active US military personnel, Adopt A US Soldier is a 501c3 volunteer-based organization that connects supportive civilians with deployed troops and offers a channel by which to communicate encouragement and express gratitude to the brave men and women serving our nation and the world.

The Story From Founder & CEO Ann Johnson

When Ann knew that her only son, Paul, was going to be stationed in Iraq, she asked some of her friends if they would help support Paul’s company.  The response was great and grew!  One of her friends, an air traffic controller at Denver International Airport, asked her boss if they could adopt Paul’s group.  They ended up sending almost $3,000 worth of goods.  Then a mistake was made…the soldiers, thinking that they were thanking the DIA group, addressed their letters in care of DIA.  However, all of the supporters didn’t work at DIA, so the letters, after being opened, were sent to Ann to re-address and send out to the appropriate people.  In tears reading them, Steve W., a retired LT COL U.S. Air Force Pilot and friend of Ann’s, called and alerted the media of Ann’s efforts and the Adopt A US Soldier organization was born. AAUSS will celebrate our 8th birthday on Feb. 4th and we now have over 835,000 supporters from 149 countries / territories / independent states with 57 volunteers.
