Today Active for Troops and Walk for Troops, new locally-based organizations focused on providing support to military families, held its inaugural launch today appropriately coinciding with the Memorial Day holiday. Active for Troops provides a wide-selection of active wear to purchase wherein a portion of the proceeds go directly to the Active for Troops Foundation. Walk for Troops, is also a new organization that gives people a chance to gear up for their own personal support walk. Both organizations are solely focused on ensuring military men and women as well as local and national communities are supported in a creative way.
"You can't wait. Sometimes you just have to act, which is what we did and is why we started these organizations. We know American's understand the importance of supporting those that protect our freedom," said Marianne Yeager, founder of Active for Troops. "Now people can buy a great, quality product and feel good that portions of their purchase will go to an important cause. That's why we say 'Feel good, D women's jackets o good."

And the products are just part of it, a portion of the proceeds of the purchase will be donated to either its Foundation.
