Operation Soldier Smiles

I would like to express my profound gratitude to Maggie Fazenbaker and Operation Soldier Smiles who recently reached an impressive milestone. Operation Soldier Smiles was founded Oct.1, 2004, by Maggie Fazenbaker of Alamogordo, at the time 11-year-old 7th grader who was concerned about the well-being of active duty soldiers far from home. Through her organization, Maggie has made an impact on the lives of thousands of our soldiers who are defending our country around the world. Her organization recently reached a remarkable milestone by delivering over 10,000 care package to our military troops serving in the war zones over the past five years. Maggie and her volunteers have raised funds and shipped packages tirelessly for the past five of our troops. As someone who has served in our military, I know what it means to the brave men and women in our military to receive such a thoughtful care package. Please join me in applauding Maggie and Operation Soldier Smiles on their remarkable work on behalf of our country.
