Dear Friend,
If you've ever thought about making a real difference for a deployed service member, there's no better moment than right now to step in and help.
In late 2007, my younger brother Evan shipped out to Iraq with the 25th Infantry Division. He called home one day with a short list of basic items the military didn't supply—things most people assume troops already have. I sent what I could immediately.
But then he shared something that stopped me cold: Many guys in his unit were getting nothing from home. No packages. No letters. No sign anyone remembered them.
That hit hard. These weren't just soldiers—they were brothers, sons, daughters—serving in the dust and heat, wondering if anyone cared.
I couldn't stand by. So in 2008, I started HeroBox—not as some grand plan, but simply to make sure no hero felt forgotten.

| See what your support makes possible — thoughtful items, careful packing, and smiles that matter. |
We built it differently: personalized wish lists so troops get exactly what they need and want. A little comfort, a favorite snack, a note that says, “You're seen. You're appreciated. You're not alone.”
Today, thousands of boxes later, the need remains real. Deployments continue. Quiet holidays and long nights still happen. Too many heroes wait for that reminder from home.
That's why I'm writing you today.
Your gift right now funds a box
—covering items, packing, and shipping—and delivers the message every service member deserves:
You matter. We're with you.
