Volunteer
Stand For The Troops (“SFTT”) relies on volunteers from every walk of life to support our unique mission: to insure that our frontline troops have the best available individual protective equipment and combat gear to help them win battles and come home alive and in one piece. Whether you are a Member of SFTT or simply a concerned American, please consider some of the many ways our Volunteers contribute daily to the SFTT effort:
- Write or contribute information for articles that appear on the SFTT Blog and other news organizations;
- Contact local and national officials to educate, inform and follow-up on SFTT campaigns;
- Hold local meetings with concerned Americans to raise awareness of the SFTT mission;
- Sponsor fund-raising events to help support SFTT’s investigative reporting;
- Help monitor “Share a Story” to keep our thoughts and memories of loved ones alive.
If any of these Volunteer efforts seem appealing, please contact SFTT and learn how you too can contribute to our campaigns to raise public awareness for our brave men and women serving in harm’s way.

Our Story
Stand For The Troops (“SFTT”) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Educational Foundation established by the late Col. David H. Hackworth and his wife Eilhys England to insure that our frontline troops have the best available leadership, equipment and training.
In the past four-plus years SFTT'S active campaign has focused on ensuring America's frontline troops get the best available individual protective equipment and combat gear.
Donations and contributions from concerned Americans help fund the SFTT website.
Hackworth Memorial DVD
Includes rare footage from Hack's memorial service at Fort Myers Chapel and burial in Arlington National Cemetery.
All donations received from purchasing of The Hackworth Memorial DVD go to Stand For The Troops a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, non-partisan apolitical foundation established by Hack and his wife Eilhys to make sure that America's front-line forces—the kids Hack loved out at the tip of the spear—always have the right training, leadership and equipment to meet their assigned missions and make it home alive and in one piece.
Our Campaigns
- December 23, 2009: The law firm of Kirkland & Ellis LLP filed the final motion with the Federal Court in Washington, DC in the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) on behalf of the SFTT’s editor for forensic records held by the Department of Defense (“DOD”).
- October 16, 2009: The Government Accountability Office (“GAO”) issues report to Congress calling for “independent expert assessment of Army body armor test results.” This damning report of US Army body armor test procedures is the outgrowth of a two-year investigative and educational campaign by SFTT to seek fair and impartial test procedures.
