Washington, DC – July 2, 2008 – Military Missions, Inc. announced today that it has officially joined America Supports You, an ongoing, nationwide Department of Defense program to showcase and communicate America’s support for the men and women of the Armed Forces and their families.  Military Missions, Inc. is an organization dedicated to encouraging and supporting our Armed Forces and their families.

“We are thrilled to welcome Military Missions, Inc. to the America Supports You team,” said Allison Barber, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.  “Their dedication to our service members is truly inspiring, and we are so happy to have them on the team.”

To date, Military Missions, Inc. has sent care packages to thousands of deployed troops, started a bimonthly support group in Central Kentucky, and initiated numerous projects designed to help our military families here on the homefront.  Working with America Supports You in the future, Military Missions, Inc. hopes to increase the number of packages sent to our deployed troops, offer classes and services to the families on the homefront, and sponsor community events that will raise awareness to support and encourage our military and their families.
