is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. For seven years, the non-profit Netroots for the Troops® raised money to send hundreds of specially designed Care Packages to U.S. combat troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. These packages have included the practical, such as gloves, gel shoe insoles, socks, sand scarves, powdered energy drinks and LED flashlights, as well as the recreational, such as DVD
s, CDs and comic books. All told, in those seven years we have shipped over 1,500 Care Packages to military personnel in three different Brigades of the 3rd Marine Division in cooperation with their Family Readiness Office, to elements of the 101st Airborne, and this year to the 841st En Bn. LTC William S. “Clete” Schaper Battalion Commander. We would like to thank everyone who supported us and through us our deployed combat troops. Netroots for the Troops® closed our "doors" in 2014. Some suggested we change our mission and continue raising money, however no one had a specific idea in mind. Therefore it was decided to not raise money for the sake of raising money. There are many organizations out there assisting our serving military and veterans, please support one of those close to home or your heart. If you want to be a veteran's advocate I'd suggest VoteVets.org .
