“OOV is an important and incredibly rewarding organization for me to be involved in from both a personal and professional perspective. For The Ritz-Carlton, our good fortune to become a major sponsor sends a very strong message to our customers and Ladies and Gentlemen that we will proudly support our armed services by assisting their spouses and children at a time of greatest need. For me personally, it has given me a chance to say, ‘Thank you and God bless you’ to the real heroes that are laying their lives on the line every day to protect us and our way of life. Being able to meet and spend time with members of the Special Forces is an honor!”

“It’s easy for me to claim, that of all the charitable organizations I have been involved in over the many years, this is my favorite and the one I’m most proud of.”

“In my opinion there is no better organization we could be involved with and from a personal standpoint it is my favorite.  It is a small way for us at Eagle Rock Distributing Company to show our appreciation for what our men and women in uniform sacrifice for us.  All too often the families of our fallen soldiers are forgotten and their sacrifice is just as important.  Operation One Voice recognizes this need and the vast majority of the dollars raised benefits the people who need it the most…those that must go on and build a life for themselves.  I am proud and humbled to be a part of such a terrific group of people.  Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to further your/our cause.  Many thanks.”
