Besides advocating for a strong sea service (U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. Merchant Marine) and the importance of each of these in our national security, the Navy League supports the men and women of each of these branches, as well as their families...often through long periods of separation.
The Hampton Roads Council of the Navy League of the United States, comprised solely of private citizens and member corporations, serves what is likely the largest concentration of Navy and Coast Guard facilities in the world...in extreme Southeastern Virginia along the Elizabeth River, James River, York River, Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean...spread throughout the communities of Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and outlying areas of Newport News, Suffolk and Yorktown.
The Navy League is called upon, and steps up to assist, during times of personal family emergencies and tragedies. More often, they are asked to participate in recognizing top performers in various commands. If you work for a major company, chances are that when a department wants to recognize an associate's performance or reward a top sales person, Human Resources can come through with a restaurant gift certificate...or even a cruise to the Caribbean or a vacation in Hawaii. Our sea services can rightfully not spend the taxpayer's dollars in this way (but they do offer "expense paid" six month trips to the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan...many more times than wanted put in harm's way). So, Navy League member companies donate hotel, restaurant and theme park gift certificates to be used for special recognition. However, the requests exceed the supply, so GiftCardTRACKER Cares is asking for your support in donating any unwanted or unneeded gift cards or gift certificates for national restaurant and hotel chains, or even retail store gift cards (electronics, department stores, grocery stores).
Whether or not you believe in the reasons the U.S. is currently at war, it is vital everyone supports those that serve. The Hampton Roads Council, Navy League of the United States will make great use of any donated gift card or gift certificate in showing your thanks and appreciation for the job our service men and women do, 24 / 7, in the far reaches of our world to right in their own back yard.
