Any Soldier Inc. started in August 2003 as a simple family effort to help the soldiers in one Army unit, thus our name. However, due to overwhelming requests, on 1 January 2004 the Any Soldier^tm effort was expanded to include any member, of any of the Armed Services, in harm’s way. Today, Any Soldier Inc. now helps many American Troops in all branches of the military, both active duty and reservists, and has become one of the leading efforts in making sure the men and women who have been deployed for the wars are cared for, via letters and packages from "home."
