While I had an amazing experience cheering my hometown team on from the sidelines,  I enjoyed visiting and supporting troops stationed all over the world even more. Whether I was able to visit and show my support locally, or travel across the globe on a DOD tour,  each trip was always filled with special memories and great new friendships.  I am so excited to be able to continue to show my appreciation for all the men, women and families of the Armed Forces through Sweethearts for Soldiers.  I am looking forward to an amazing year of giving back and showing my support for all that our Country is blessed with.  My Sweetheart participation is dedicated to both of my grandfathers, who fought for our great country as US Marines.        

God Bless the USA!

Love,
Manda
