America Supporting Americans “Adopt-A-Unit”
America Supporting Americans “Adopt-A-Unit” was founded in 1968 to support Soldiers during the Vietnam War. “Adopt-A-Unit” provides a supportive connection between the young men and women of the Armed Forces and the civilian communities they serve. America Supporting Americans is committed to building and strengthening the link between civic and community groups and the Armed Forces. America Supporting Americans facilitates "adoptions" between towns, cities, or counties and individual military units throughout the country working with the Armed Forces, including the National Guard, establishing "adoptions" between communities and units interested in forming a partnership. In some cases, a city is already "home" to a particular unit, and the municipality and unit may want to solidify this relationship in a unique, personally meaningful way. In other cases, a city or town wants to establish a strong, supportive connection with Soldiers, Sailors, or Airmen in a unit not already affiliated with the community involved. Both of these situations result in rewarding, successful "adoptions" that are beneficial to the Nation. In addition to setting up the initial adoption, America Supporting Americans provides ongoing adoption support services needed to help make the adoption a success. Another featured program in America Supporting Americans is the Youth Civic Action and Awareness Program which encourages adoptive communities to use their adoption programs to expand young people's understanding of America's role in global affairs, of the role the military plays in the American political system, and of the experience of American Servicemen and Women. The Youth Civic Action and Awareness Program enables teachers to use their community's participation in the Adopt-a-Unit Program to enrich their curriculum and to add new dimensions to the learning that goes on in their classrooms.
