Our insignia:

The original idea for our logo came in 2006 from Hal Evans, the father of one of our members, Rob Evans. Hal at one time was Director of Creative Services for Baseball and worked for Bowie Kuhn. Well, Hal came up with the first draft. Then Tony Dalla Mura, a web developer at Unilever IT, improved the logo considerably, when he added a stylized version of an American soldier. We sent the draft to one of our adoptee units, the 32d Signal Battalion, at Camp Anaconda in Iraq. They recommended that we add a 'tab' to signify the special effort Adopt-a-Soldier Platoon members put into supporting our troops. The tab was added with our name and our insignia was born.

Who we are: We're Americans who care about our country and our troops. We're veterans and civilians. We're reservists, like LCDR Jonathan Jett-Parmer, PE, a Unilever plant manager, seen here working on the U.S.S. Cole when she was being repaired after the vessel was attacked by terrorists.

We currently have over 600 contributors and supporters.
