Mission Statement

Whether or not you agree with the war, you have to respect what the troops are doing. www.MomentOfThanks.com provides an opportunity to show them that respect, not just with text messages, but also with photos and videos.

 

According to the US Army, 66% of soldiers are under 29.  That means that messages to the troops from young people for young people are all the more meaningful.

 

Our website is a non-commercial, non-political website that is designed to honor military personnel both overseas and back home. We have been able to launch this not for profit program thanks to our corporate sponsor, Kodak Gallery and the awesome support of organizations like Soldiers' Angels (www.SoldiersAngels.org), who help us raise awareness.

 

Our goal is to get 100,000 messages to the troops.
