About AnySoldier.com:  Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, MD, an Army Infantry soldier with the
173rd Airborne Brigade was in the Kirkuk area of Iraq when he started the idea of Any Soldier® to
help care for his soldiers.  He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with “Attn: Any
Soldier” in his address to soldiers who didn’t get mail.  Brian later completed a tour in Afghanistan
and is now home, but AnySoldier.com continues larger than ever.

Any soldier Inc. started in August 2003 as a simple family effort to help soldiers in one Army unit.  
Due to overwhelming requests, on 1 January 2004 the Any Soldier® effort was expanded to
include any member of any Armed Forces in harms way.  In January 2006 AnySoldier.com was
representing approximately 131,451 services members through 4,264 military contacts.

Good day Miss Debra,

I would just like to say thank you to you and your customers on behalf of myself and my Marines that
have received the packages. It's nice to know, we have support out there pushing us through the
rough days. Thank you all once again!
