On the Angel Team

Soldiers' Angels is proud of it's long history of support for start-up military support organizations and individual patriots who care for our troops and their families. Two great examples of this are artist Michael Reagan and the woodcarvers of the Eagle Cane Project, whom Soldiers' Angels has partnered with for years.

Using the family’s favorite photo, professional portrait artist Michael Reagan creates custom, hand-drawn portraits free of charge to the families of all servicemen and women who have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001. Soldiers' Angels assists Michael in this profound labor of love by helping to cover the cost of shipping his beautiful creations. To learn more or request Michael create a portrait of a fallen hero, see the Fallen Heroes Project website.
Members of the Eastern Oklahoma Woodcarvers Association put their artistry to work for America's wounded heroes, creating symbolic "Presentation Canes" as a representation of support and respect for their sacrifices. Created by Jack Nitz, The Eagle Cane Project is a nationwide network of carving associations who create beautiful canes for wounded warriors. Where possible, canes are made by woodworkers in the veteran's home state and presented in person. When that is not possible, Soldiers' Angels covers the cost of shipping these valuable and beautiful canes to their recipients.
The heart of Soldiers' Angels has always been cooperation and support among those who have the same mission--supporting our heroes and their families.
