  <title>Gary Sinise Foundation Partners With The Tiny Soldier For Charity</title>
  <description>The Gary Sinise Foundation and The Tiny Soldier have announced a partnership that will result in a unique line of products, with 50% of proceeds from sales of the clothing going to the Foundation and 5% going to The Tiny Soldier&amp;#8217;s favorite military service organization, Operation Gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are so excited to have The Tiny Soldier on board,&amp;#8221; said Brook E. Finan on behalf of the Gary Sinise Foundation. &amp;#8220;We share Janell&amp;#8217;s passion for the military and are so happy to help spread support for our troops alongside The Tiny Soldier.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two organizations have created a special line of products that will be embroidered or screen printed with a new customized logo that blends the individual logos of each organization. Fifty-percent of the proceeds from the sale of these items will go to the Gary Sinise Foundation. Five-percent of the proceeds will continue to go to Operation Gratitude. The Tiny Soldier has donated five-percent of all sales of its Tiny Soldier line to Operation Gratitude since the company&amp;#8217;s first year of operation.

  <title>Ben Affleck Shows Gratitude For The Troops</title>
  <description>Ben Affleck and Patricia Heaton were on hand at the California National Guard Armory on Sunday, December 14, as part of Operation Gratitude.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pair joined thousands of volunteers as they helped put together over 100,000 care packages for troops stationed overseas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operation Gratitude started out as a small operation but has now become one of the largest military support organizations in the world, with over 400,000 care packages delivered to troops deployed in combat zones. Each package costs $10 to prepare and ship, and contains food, toiletries, entertainment items and personal letters of appreciation.
