About Operation Adopt A Soldier, Inc.
Operation Adopt A Soldier, Inc. (OAAS) was founded in 2003 by Cliff Seguin and Dominick Commisso at the Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility in Wilton, NY. OAAS first started when Cliff began sending packages to a platoon of soldiers from the 368th Combat Engineers, which included his son Steven, who were stationed in Iraq. Later that year, Cliff met Dominick at a Support Our Troops Rally and learned that he was also sending care packages to the platoons of his two sons, Jason and Michael, who were also stationed in Iraq. The two joined forces to bring their efforts to a larger scale and help more platoons stationed overseas.

OAAS is a purely volunteer program whose mission is to raise awareness about the daily sacrifices that the men and women stationed overseas and their families make in order to preserve freedom for all of us. The main goal is to provide a sense of home to our soldiers and make them feel as comfortable as possible through care packages, gifts, letters, phone cards, and more.  OAAS' motto is clear and simple "YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN."  For more information, visit www.operationadoptasoldier.org.
