 Military Partners

The Department of Defense and the US Army have several organizations with missions that correspond to that of We Do Care. We Do Care is an official partner with the following organizations.



Every day, Soldiers fighting the Global War on Terrorism risk their lives in operations that help secure the freedom of all American people. Whether they are veterans of the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, there is only one operation that matters when they return home: Operation Tribute to Freedom (OTF) – the Army’s program designed to honor Soldiers and give them opportunities to thank the American people for their support.

Honorably discharged veterans may likewise nominate themselves for recognition under this program. Nominees will receive an Army lapel pin, an Army decal, a certificate and letter signed by the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army thanking them for their support.     Learn More
