America Supports You is a United States Department of Defense program that provides opportunities for citizens to show their support for the U.S. armed forces. The program was launched in 2004 in an effort to highlight citizen support for U.S. military men and women.




America Supports You connects individuals, organizations, and companies to hundreds of non-profit support groups, called homefront groups, offering a variety of support services to the military community. The homefront groups provide support in many ways, including writing letters and e-mails, sending care packages, offering scholarships, and helping wounded service men and women when they return home. The America Supports You program also connects military service members and their families to homefront groups that provide assistance.
Dozens of corporations, recognized on the program’s website, are also America Supports You supporters.
