Episode Synopsis
On this episode, Janice sits down with Founders of United For The Troops, Jim and Patty Rathschmidt for a discussion on their non-profit organization dedicated to making soldiers' lives a little brighter while serving overseas.
Jim and Patty share how their idea to send care packages to their son while he was stationed in Iraq started as a small gesture and eventually expanded into large-scale distribution to other deployed service members. Later, they discuss United For The Troops’ steady stream of volunteers, the organization’s fundraising efforts, and their hopes for the future.
