'Operation SAFE Return' is a new multi-dimensional program that is designed to provide support to our returning heroes as they re-acclimate to civilian life. The program was also created to raise awareness and spur community support for returning troops and their families.
As for Jeep, they've joined the USO for this important cause and have pledged more than $1 million in funding and vehicles to for the program! In fact, Jeep will be donating $1 to the USO for every person who pledges to join the movement and tweets out their efforts using the hash tag #joinOSR. This is going on now through Monday, May 27.
These aren't the only efforts from Jeep. Back in February Jeep employees volunteered their time during a 'day of service' at the new USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
Sloan Gibson, USO President and CEO, spoke of the partnership by saying:
"This is a wonderful day for our troops and their families. The USO is honored to partner with Jeep, an iconic American company, whose generous commitment supports our troops and their families in such a powerful way. ... Our military families' primary focus is the safe return of their loved ones - that they come home safely to enjoy the rewarding and fulfilling life they so richly deserve. That's why the USO is by their side every step of the way - and now Jeep® joins us on this noble mission."
