This passed October 21, while working one of our festivals in Suwanee, GA, I meet a wonderful man that is a Veteran himself and served in the Army during the Vietnam ERA in Korea. In 2012, Ron Hayman, founder, and president created the company called "I Honor Your Service To America.com, Inc." This company is a Disabled Veteran owned charitable organization. THE MISSION is to honor, support and encourage deployed troops and homeless Veterans with Military Care Packages. The more we talked the more compelled I felt as a company to do something to help honor our service men and women in this way.

Their site is dedicated to supporting our troops in combat roles and combat support roles with (Military Care Packages) some of the comforts of home like snacks, Beef Jerky, toiletries, knitted items, current magazines, books, music, movies, Girl Scout Cookies, writing materials, coffee, CDs, DVDs, pictures from home, letters, and much more. We at State Homegrown encourage you to join us in our effort to support our troops with donations of money for shipping, or products to share with our heroes in Military Care Packages.

Please support our Troops by clicking on the following link to Donate to their cause. https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/ihonoryourservicetoamerica?code=7778

Also, if you know a soldier, airman or sailor you would like to send a care package to, please email them the name, rank and APO address to ihonorusa@gmail.com, and they will send them a military care package asap!
