In 2004 Operation Troop Appreciation (OTA) was founded to serve Active-Duty Troops deployed during the war in the Middle East with their own specific requests like replacement boots destroyed after a battle, Under Armor® T-shirts and more. Today, OTA supports not only our soldiers currently serving, but our veterans returning home who are struggling financially, physically and mentally through our Veterans Welcome Home Program. The Welcome Home program serves veterans residing in Western Pennsylvania. In 2022, OTA hit a milestone of serving 200,000+ troops and veterans since its inception. Operation Troop Appreciation is 100% volunteer run with 90% of donations going directly to soldiers and veterans.
Good morning, I just wanted to take a quick minute to say THANK YOU for the care packages!!! It’s a great feeling to see my troops get excited seeing me walk in with the packages
Wonderful letter from our troops overseas!
To The OTA Family, Through my almost 17 years of service, I have been deployed several times to three different continents. I continue to be amazed by organizations like yours that keep supporting service members
