Operation Gratitude is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that sends care packages to individually named troops deployed overseas. Our mission is to lift morale, bring a smile to a service member's face and to express to all troops the appreciation and support of the American people. To date, we have sent over 550,000 care packages filled with snacks, toiletries, entertainment items and personal letters to troops in hostile regions such as Iraq, Afghanistan and onto ships all over the world.
