We wish to thank Rocstor for the "secure" external hard drives to protect all our troops data. These are far better than any ordinary storage device. These drives provide military grade encryption, on the fly! They also require a special "physical key" to use them, adding an additional layer of security. If data protection is imperative then these drives are the intelligent choice. Thank you Rocstor, for supporting our Troops and Operation Soldier Assist.
We wish to thank Office Max Government Solutions for their generous donation of an Battery Back-up / Surge Protector, for our office. This was extremely generous and much needed. This unit will protect one of our new iMac office computers. This supports OSA and out troops by keeping one of our office computers safe. In addition buy saving us a great deal of money. Money saved can still be used on our troops. Thank you Office Max Government Solutions for supporting our Troops and Operation Soldier Assist.
I wish to thank my friend Paul Jacobsen of Tactical Graphic Design for creating and donating our new OSA logo. This will be on our letter head and our new upcoming web site make over.
We wish to thank Midwest Industries for donating various items to our troops and allot of them, including their cool tactical T-Shirts (the troops really like them). MI has also donated their tactical products. Thanks MI for you generosity to our troops and OSA!
We wish to thank ALWIL Software for donating a copy of Avast Anitvirus Mac Edition to keep our Mac running virus free and protecting valueable troop data. Thank you ALWIL Software for your support of Operation Soldier Assist and our troops.
We wish to thank BlazingTools for the software contribution. This is a what was needed for our office computer to be able keep close tabs on our troops data. Thank you BlazingTools for supporting our troops and Operation Soldier Assist.

Special Note: We are not a "SOLDIER" only support group.
We adopt and support "ALL" deployed military personnel!
Welcome, my name is Blaine, I am the founder of OSA and my hope and number one request is that you would adopt-a-troop. What does "adopt" mean? Glad you asked! It means that you commit to writing a letter each week (not an email) so that your adopted troop get a physical letter at mail call, and sending a package once a month. I started OSA with the hope of getting our deployed personnel adopted out to the public, so that they would be encouraged while in Iraq, Afghanistan or any of the 100 plus countries we have troops stationed. Our visitors have not disappointed us. In our first two years, our visitors have adopted 500 troops! We were very happy about this but of course we hope to do more.
We often get letters requesting adoption and support because the government hired contractors are charging way to much at the base stores. Some just wish to have someone to write to and visit with. Most need some sort of help with the items listed below. Items needed include: personal hygiene items, books, magazines, CD's, DVD's, boots, and new uniforms items. I know some may feel that boots and new uniform items are over the top, there NOT. Remember a gift is not a gift if it costs you nothing, and this is truly about helping those who defend our country and need support.
A uniform allowance is given to military personnel but in most cases the troops forfeit many normal needs to cover their uniform costs and of course, most of them send their pay home to support their families. Please consider helping, you will enjoy visiting with the person you adopt and will encourage them greatly with your support. The above items are just examples, you decide how you will support your own troop. We just ask you to put yourself in their place and think of what you would like for help. Thanks again for visiting us and please tell your friends about SoldierAssist.com
OATH KEEPERS TEAMS UP WITH OPERATION SOLDIER ASSIST
We are very proud to announce that we will be working closely with Operation Soldier Assist, http://www.soldierassist.com/ which provides care packages for all deployed military personnel (of all branches). When you visit their site, you will see that they have posted both our video and text versions of the Ten Orders We Will Not Obey right there on their home page. We will be providing them with free Oath Keepers educational materials, such as DVDs, and patches and tabs for the troops, already set up with Velcro so they can just slap on an Oath Keepers tab if they ever feel the inclination. Part of your donations to Oath Keepers will go to support that effort as well as all of our other outreach activities. Our dream goal is to put an Oath Keepers DVD, a pocket Constitution or Citizens’s Rule Book, and an Oath Keepers tab with Velcro on the back into the hands of every service member. Imagine what an impact that could have. You can help make that happen! In fact, you can even go directly to http://www.soldierassist.com/ and adopt an individual service member, and send care packages (really, anything they can use, up to and including serious battle gear, if you want) and letters, along with any Oath Keepers materials you want to put in yourself, directly to the individual service member you adopt. It really is an amazing and very satisfying experience to adopt a soldier, Marine, Airman, or Sailor who is so far from home and let them know someone appreciates and cares for them. Please do that above all else. Go to http://www.soldierassist.com/ now.

We wish to thank the Supply Sergeant for the generous donation of a full set of ACU's for one of our troops. This was much appreciated!
We wish to thank Mac Resource for their generous donation. When I wrote Mac Resource and requested a USED iMac, they quickly agreed to send us one. However we did not receive a used iMac, we received TWO, not one but TWO NEW iMac's! This was extremely generous and I believe they deserve a large banner and special recognition. Thank you Mac Resource for supporting our Troops and Operation Soldier Assist.
We wish to thank Custom Networks for their donation of an APC Battery Back-up/Surge Protector unit. This is a high quality system and will protect our MAIN computer here at OSA.
