Pray For Our Troops


God Bless the Troops has set a goal to provide a beautifully-framed Defender Print to families who have lost loved ones in the fight for freedom, both locally and nationally.

Since our organization is self-funded all proceeds return directly to the production and shipping costs for our mission, as well as to support other organizations that serve our military men and women, and families.

Would you like to support our goal to provide more prints to those who have experienced the ultimate sacrifice for our country? If so, please review the info below.


(Upon request, supporters donating $60.00 or more receive a complimentary 8x10 Defender print.)

We are grateful for those who have supported Fund A Frame and recognize their generosity.

(Please note: Since we are not yet established as a charitable organization your donation is not tax-deductible).

Volunteer


We are always looking for individuals who are interested in helping with our mission. We have a need in the following areas:

  1. Research Assistants. Once GBTT hears about a fallen hero we need information on where to send our Defender Print, including funeral homes, family contact info., etc. Since our staff is limited, internet researchers and callers are always needed.
  2. Campaign Marketing: GBTT has many opportunities to share our mission with the public and corporate sector. This volunteer position would do presentations at schools, businesses and organizations to share our mission to honor our Gold Star Families and recognize our brave serving, veterans and fallen heroes.
  3. Event Reps: Although we desire to be at every military event, staff availability is limited by the growing demands of our organization. For those who would like to attend an event on our behalf, set up a table, pass out materials, display our products this position is for you.
