America Supports You
- "America Supports You,"
a nationwide program launched by the Department of Defense, will
recognize citizens' support for our military men and women and
communicate that support to members of our Armed Forces at home
and abroad.
- All across America, thousands of individual
citizens, businesses, and groups - from local schools and
establishments to nationally-known corporations and organizations
- are hosting events and undertaking projects to support America's
Armed Forces, especially in forward-deployed areas of the Global
War on Terrorism.
- The support of the American people builds and
sustains the morale of those fighting to defend freedom against
the tyranny of terrorism, and communicates America's recognition
and appreciation of their courage and commitment to our country.
- America Supports You
will spotlight what Americans are doing all across the land,
encourage others to join the team, and allow all to tell their
stories by giving voice and visibility to their efforts.
- The official launch of the
America Supports You program will commence with kick-off
events during November 2004. Subsequent events will occur in
various regions of the country to honor and recognize citizens'
support for America's Armed Forces.
- All events and information will be highlighted
on a new America Supports You website
that will allow participants to register and be recognized, share
their stories of support with the nation and the troops, and
download program materials for distribution and dissemination.
Military members will access the web and learn about America's
support for their service.
- The America Supports You
Dog Tag, emblazoned with the America Supports
You logo, will be the official emblem of the program, and
serve as a visible force multiplier in projecting the message that
America supports our military men and women.
