What's an EOA?

EOA = Expression of Appreciation

An Expression of Appreciation (EOA) is a message crafted to encourage the children of fallen soldiers.
When you write or film an EOA (and it is approved by the COFS EOA team), it is sent to the kids, included in the upcoming book, "On Behalf of a Grateful Nation", uploaded to our web site and YouTube channel, and will be displayed at the Memorial for the Children of Fallen Soldiers.

EOAs can be written or filmed... they can be short and simple or highly creative and developed. The point to be made is that you recognize and appreciate their sacrifice and you are letting them know they are not alone.

We've made it easy by giving you many ways to submit your personal EOA.
Check out our EOA page for the 411 - http://www.quietlyworking.org/programsandservices/eoa.html.

If you have a special EOA project you want to produce, get creative and DO IT!!!
If you need to talk to us, feel free to give us a call - (773) 234-KIDS (5437)
You never know... maybe you'll find your EOA on our YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/ChildofFallenSoldier

Prep-Time for Book Tour

"On Behalf of a Grateful Nation"

COFS is preparing for a nation-wide tour to collect your EOAs at major events across the country. The money raised through corporate sponsorship and private donations will fund the Americas Dream Long-Term Mentorship Program. A program aimed at empowering the Children of Fallen Soldiers to achieve their personal American Dream.

Volunteers Needed to Collect EOAs

Does your office, church or neighborhood have a COFS Ambassador yet?

COFS Ambassadors are responsible for collecting EOAs in their area. Our goal is to have ambassadors in every major city by the end of 2011.

We are currently producing a series of training videos and supplies that will be part of the Ambassadors Tool Kit. If you're a "ground floor" type of person and want to help launch this program, now's the time to get involved. We're looking for key leaders that can be trained to lead others. Send an email with your Name, City, Phone and why you would like to be involved to Volunteer@ChildrenOfFallenSoldiers.org. Someone from the COFS team will be in touch.
