Show your patriotic spirit and let America's heroes know they have your support by adopting a soldier!

 

Since the Oklahoma Blue Star Mothers was founded four years ago, we've had numerous requests from individuals wanting APO/FPO addresses so that they themselves could send out packages to our troops.  We were unable to help these individuals because, for security reasons, we cannot divulge these addresses. 

 

As a result, Oklahoma Chapter One has teamed up with Mix 96 FM to offer Adopt a Troop.  This is a way for individuals to purchase and package their own Freedom Box.

 

All you have to do is purchase the items from the Adopt a Soldier Shopping List and bring them by the Oklahoma Chapter One offices, located at 2198-B South Sheridan, Tulsa (by the old Casa Bonita). 

 

In addition to the items you provide, Oklahoma Chapter One will add an American flag bandana and cards and letters from Oklahomans to each box.

 

If you would like to add a special hand-held game, DVD or CD along with a letter or card telling the soldier you have "adopted" them  and would like to keep in touch, that will be added to the top of your box.

 

Include a $20 check, money order or cash to pay postage for each soldier you adopt.  We supply a box which you can choose to pack on your own, with the assistance of an OKBSM volunteer, or packed by an OKBSM volunteer. 

 

Soldiers with Oklahoma ties are chosen at random.  Shipments are usually mailed on Saturdays.

 

To get started, print off our Introduction Letter and Adopt a Soldier Shopping List.

  

 

Interesting Fact:

 

In June 1960 the Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc. was officially chartered by Congress.

 

 

 

 

 

In 2005, Chapter One founded Wish Upon a Blue Star, a program dedicated to assisting terminally ill Veterans.  For more information about Wish Upon a Blue Star, please click here.
