While the Yellow Ribbon is most commonly used to Support Our Troops, we are going to go with Camo as the Vehicle Color for December as we focus on the Military Family and both sides of their needs during the Holiday Season.
Let us remember all the Troops that are away from their families this Holiday Season.
Come back everyday for the Featured Camo Vehicle Picture of the day!!

IF You Would Like to Donate, please feel free to pick an organization that we highlight that catches your heart. Let them know you heard about them from this unique information campaign...
Remember, this is an awareness campaign. We are making a difference with the Tool of Information In Our Hands....Use it!
Dec 1:
How Many Military Families have a member of their family fighting for us? Noted, these numbers are from December of 2011, but it gives us a good idea of the large number:
Total Active Duty Troop Levels as of December 31st, 2011 – 1,414,000
Air Force – 332,724
Army – 558,571
Marines – 200,225
Navy – 322,629
Currently, the United States has military personnel deployed in about 150 Countries…This covers 75% of The World’s Nations.
The site that we got these facts from has a great interactive map to identify where the majority of the troops are in the world. Again, it is from 2011. http://www.vetfriends.com/US-deployments-overseas
How Do You Support our Military during the Holidays?

CAMO!! Lets Support the Military Families this Holiday Season! Share with your friends...Lets Make an Impact! More at Race Team Store
Everyone knows someone that is in the Military and helping fight for our freedom. There are many opitons to supporting groups, all the way down to a specific Unit. So in my initial search, I found a list that is suggested to Military Families as sources of financial help during the holidays. This can also be flipped as the top options to helping a family!
Here are some examples of what may be available:
USO – Contact your local USO and inquire about their holiday programs. Some offer free meals, entertainment, and toys to military families. Holiday festivities may include Thanksgiving dinner, breakfast with Santa, Christmas dinner, holiday food baskets, toy drives, food pantries, and more.
Toys for Tots – Since 1947 the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve program has distributed more than 452 million toys to more than 209 million children. This program is open to all children in the community, including military kids. Families can select their state from the"Request A Toy" tab to learn about how to sign up for the program.
Veterans’ Service Organizations – Many Veterans’ Service Organizations (VFW, American Legion, etc.) provide a wide variety of holiday support to service members, veterans, and their families. Programs vary, but may include holiday meals, food pantries, gift card distribution, and fellowship.
Installation Support – Holiday support at local installations also varies, but may include food baskets, holiday meals, toy donation, fellowship, or entertainment. Contact the family center at your nearest installation and ask about the support provided this year.
Local Nonprofits – The scope of support varies greatly. The nonprofit may have a regional presence, a national name, or only provide support to military families within a certain county. Operation Homefront is an example of a national nonprofit that provides regional support. In some locations they have a holiday meal program, holiday parties, and toy drives for military families. Contact your family support center for a list of nonprofits providing support to military families in your area.
The extra financial pressure of the holiday season or being far away from family and friends may add additional stress to military families. We encourage military families to be good neighbors and friends. If you notice another family in need this holiday season, help connect them with local resources. Together, we can brighten the holiday season for military families.
