Troop Letters

SFC Sanders

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 for almost two decades now. Where most of the stateside population has become fatigued and ‘supporting the troops’ has become cliché, people like OTA remind us that there are plenty of people who still remember why we’re here.

We cannot adequately articulate to you how much your effort & generosity truly means to us and all the service members you support. Please understand – what you do, it truly matters & makes a difference! So from the 79th and this guy from a small town in East Texas…THANK YOU!

SFC Sanders
