Sneakers for Soldiers is a 501c(3) organization that provides special purpose and properly fitted sneakers to deployed men and women serving in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, extreme temperatures, harsh environments, rugged terrain, and daily exercise wreak havoc on Soldiers' sneakers and frequently create the need for a new pair. Exercising in worn out shoes is just as bad as exercising in the wrong shoe - it increases the stress on joints and can cause injuries. Recognizing this need, we have devised a way for each Soldier to choose a sneaker that best fits their needs and feet...because all feet are different. The US Military is in the very early stages of providing sneakers to new recruits however, deployed Soldiers are currently not beneficiaries of this program.

Flags For Fallen Military (FFM) was formed in the summer of 2006. The idea and development of FFM was to honor our fallen heroes by providing families the option of placing an American Flag in honor of their son’s or daughter’s sacrifice. FFM was developed and initially operated and run solely by the Larson Family. David C. Larson is Founder, Executive Director. While David did not serve in the military, he was raised in a military family and felt compelled to do something, so the dream was penciled out. Several wonderful suppliers and donors have made this dream come true. Many families have received a flag from FFM. The rewards of running FFM are endless; the Larson’s and other volunteers have met and continue to meet wonderful people and families.
