The Helping Our Troops (H.O.T.) program was founded in 2006 by Vietnam Veteran's, Frank Geary and Walter Kopek of Stoneham, Massachusetts. U.S.A.
This program was designed to support our local service members of the military branches from Massachusetts serving overseas in "Operation Iraqi & Enduring Freedom" with care-packages from home.
We are so very grateful to all who have supported our program over the years. To date President, Frank Geary, continues the mission as promised fulfilling special requests to those who remain deployed serving our country.
"As long as the public continues to support us, we will continue sending care-packages to our troops. We always find a way to make it happen." ~ Frank Geary
