PATRIOTISM WITHOUT POLITICSSpirit of America is citizens serving the nation, committed to America’s values and ideals, working together, and doing our part to support the country and those who serve it.

NOT NEUTRALMost organizations that provide assistance overseas are neutral. As a matter of principle and doctrine, they will not directly support US personnel. Spirit of America is not neutral. We take the side of America’s troops and diplomats. We only provide assistance in support of their safety and success, and the local people and partners they seek to help. We are also not political. We take no position on policy or politics: when America’s men and women are sent to serve abroad, we support them, and help them return safely and proud of their success.

"In situations that require speed and audacity, Spirit of America has proven it can andwill help our forces answer an emerging need in order to prevent a crisis.”

Admiral Eric T. Olson, US Navy, Retired

“Spirit of America brings all the nation’s strength together and focuses it at the point of need.” General Stanley McChrystal, US Army, Retired
