Operation Adopt A Soldier, Inc. originated at Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility in Wilton, New York. The employees at the facility spearheaded by Cliff Sequin started sending packages to one platoon of eight soldiers from the 368th Combat Engineer Unit from Rutland, Vermont.
Since we started in February 2003, our list has grown to include over 600 soldiers, a company of 2,300 soldiers, and we have sent over 1,300 cases of supplies overseas.
It is our policy and goal to service as many American Soldiers (men and women) as possible. It addition to the soldiers, it is also our goal to service as many families of soldiers serving as possible. The need is there and will always be there, as long as there are servicemen and women fighting for our freedom.
