WELCOME TO AMERICA 4R MARINES!

 

America 4R Marines to date has shipped over 60 Tons of year round support to our deployed Marines and Navy Corpsman (the USMC’s Medics) since our birth in October 2006!

America 4R Marines has always been a very unique organization with 100% volunteer management and 98.6% of funds going directly to our Marines and Sailors.

7 years ago, very little existed in the world of non-profit support to provide supplies and smiles to our deployed units. While many non-profits focused on personal/individual care packages, America 4R Marines sent many needed comfort items and basic supplies to support thousands of troops throughout each year by directly communicating with the command elements of battalions.

 

Our end of year  annual Shebang: Operation Merry Christmas Marines and Sailors was our largest scale one time annual shipment and annual fundraising event. America 4R Marines worked directly with command elements to provide stockings filled with much needed gear and holiday cheer to thousands of deployed Marines and Corpsman in Iraq, Afghanistan and Horn of Africa.

We are happy to see that now, 7 years later  “most” Areas of Operations and Forward Operating Posts have many more amenities than they did back in 2006. With the number of deployed troops declining (but still not diminishing!) each year, our original mission is no longer as urgent as it once was. We are very proud of the impact we have had over the years- touching the lives of tens of thousands of individuals in many entire units/battalions. On top of the many tons of supplies sent overseas, America 4R Marines has also raised tens of thousands of dollars to have memorials built on several bases to honor our Fallen Heroes.

It is time to shift our focus and our mission to where we are needed most. With so many troops coming home from battle with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), there is a severe lack of support, allowing many warriors and their families to fall through the cracks. Our board has been working hard to define the specifics of our new mission and we assure you that you will be the first to know. In a broad sense- we are looking to fill those cracks.

With such a high demand for progress, there are regular advancements in the areas of research and treatment of both the physical and physiological effects of TBI and PTSD. Our plan and goal is to support those that are on the forefront of research and care and bring those in need to their facilities for the most accurate and updated treatment.

 

Please stay tuned for updates as we begin our new journey, continuing to serve those that have served our country!
Our Heroes must know there is HOPE and HELP!

IT IS OUR DUTY AS AMERICANS TO STAND BEHIND THOSE THAT HAVE MADE HUGE SACRIFIES IN THEIR LIVES FOR OUR CONTINUED FREEDOMS!

Motto:  Focus on Results – Providing the best care for our Warriors!

We truly appreciate your continued support as funds are always needed!

   2006-2011: Our main focus is on entire units serving in the most remote and hostile Areas of Operations. These Marines and Corpsman are not near any military base; they call home a tent, a cave or a make shift outpost with concrete barriers. Many have no source of electric and none have outside plumbing, they live for months on MRE’s and call a shower 2 minutes under a 5 gallon bag of water. These are the Marines and Sailors who need to see the American people stand behind them.

We communicate directly with the Generals and Sgt. Majors along with most Command elements. Who knows better what their Marines and Sailors needs are and what storage capacity they have at their locations than those in the Command positions.

It is a fact most Americans want to support our troops serving in harm’s way. Considering Operational Security many great patriots have neither the contacts needed nor the time to focus on the How- Were and What to send when it comes to showing their pride and appreciation to our great Warriors.

This is where America 4R Marines Organization can provide you the opportunity, showing your pride and patriotism to those that make such huge sacrifices daily on behalf of our Country and us personally. We know the How, Where and What to send, plus we do the shipping for you! We purchase at Bulk distributors prices. Your monetary donations go a long way and make a BIG impact, while lifting morale of our dedicated Marines and Navy Corpsman!

Our Marines and Sailors ask for nothing at all- and are always shocked and honored that strangers from back home cared enough to send their love and support their direction.

God Bless all our Military past and present. Please keep those presently serving in harm’s way in your thoughts and prayers, may they all return safely to their loved ones.

Personal political opinions should never stop anyone from standing behind our Military 100%!

Please help us-help them, by making your donation today!

God Bless America!
