Operation Not Alone founder Susan Fochs did not have to look far for inspiration when her organization recently sent out approximately 500 care packages ahead of Veterans Day this week.
Fochs founded Operation Not Alone more than a decade ago in honor of her father, who is a veteran of the Marine Corps with a service-connected disability. That inspiration led to a calling to support veterans and active-duty military members through its veteran cheer package, active-duty care package, and veteran visit programs. Fochs and Operation Not Alone took it a step further when they developed the Operation Not Alone Girl Scout Patch Program to foster an appreciation for military service among the next generation. With the Marine Corps' birthday on Nov. 10 and Veterans Day on Nov. 11, Fochs is proud to help brighten the days of people like her father who dedicated their lives to serving their country.
