Supporting the Troops
Veterans Voices Military Group supports the Orland Park Veterans Commission Support Our Troops (SOT) program by raising funds for postage and collecting goods to be sent to soldiers overseas. There are also two local groups with a similar mission: Kruses Krew (Jim Kruse), and Mrs. Jacky’s Soldiers (Jacky Connelly). Each of those groups has been carrying out this mission for over 15 years. Veterans Voices Military Group also supports the troops by assisting in the effort to have attendees at our events write cards to the service members who receive these packages.
Soldiers deployed overseas display the “goodies” they received in “care” packages sent to them by Kruze’s Krew and Mrs. Jacky’s Soldiers. Veterans Voices Military Group supports these groups, and our service members, by collecting money and material.
