Special thank you to JJ Brown Music for “Say a Little Prayer.” The Hugs Project was started in June 2004 by Ray and Karen Stark in Edmond, OK as a labor of love. They wanted to make sure every American service member knows they are loved and appreciated by those who remain at home enjoying the freedom they provide.
Weekly Care Packages are sent as a labor of love by members of The Hugs Project. Andrew (Tree) Branch receiving a care package during his deployment many years ago.
As the war winds to a close, we still have over 10,000 deployed Troops in Iraq as well as Honduras, the Ukraine, Jordan, Poland, Romania, Kuwait, Cuba, Africa, etc. They are having trouble getting supplies because the stores aren’t being restocked. The US Military doesn’t want to go off and leave tons of supplies for whoever comes in next. So, even basic items are hard to come by.
