On March 19, 2003, the first Operation Gratitude Care Packages were sent to a unit deployed on the Kuwait-Iraq border. By the end of this year, more than 2 million care packages will have been sent to deployed troops, first responders, veterans, children of deployed and fallen, wounded heroes and their caregivers. All of this has been made possible by the generosity and hands-on volunteer efforts of hundreds of thousands of American citizens and corporations who want to say "Thank You" to all who serve.
