Protect our Troops!
Protect Our Troops is a nonprofit organization determined to give deployed service members peace of mind, and allow them to focus on protecting the freedoms of this great nation.
Our program is simple: we strive to provide protection and peace of mind to the families of deployed service members. Our goal is to provide these families with a security system at little or no cost to the family during the time of their deployment. If the family currently has a security system, as our resources allow, we will provide reimbursement for the monthly monitoring fees.
We rely 100% on word of mouth advertising for our services and Military Personnel, and Military Spouses have played a tremendous role in our success thus far.
If you know of families that could benefit from our services I encourage them to take a moment to visit our website www.protectourtroops.org
