Any Soldier Inc. started as a simple family effort to help our son, Army Sergeant Brian Horn, who was one of the 1,000 Soldiers who parachuted into Northern Iraq on March 26th, 2003. We knew his unit, the 173rd Airborne Brigade was living under very rough conditions, so we were sending Brian care packages as often as we could.
26 August 2003: We wanted to help the Soldiers who were with Brian, so his father, himself a 20-year Army veteran, started this web site, and asked friends and neighbors to help send their support. HERE is the original web page posted that day. The idea caught on, fast. By Christmas Eve 2003 the site looked like THIS.
The support was massive during the holidays, and many requests came to us to support other military units. On January 1st, 2004, we did just that and opened support to ALL the Military Branches. At the time, we projected that we would have 50 volunteer "contacts" by Christmas. We were wrong, by June 2nd, 2004, we had our first 100, and 3 days short of a year we had 1,000! Right now we have 2,343!!
4 June 2004: Any Soldier Inc. became a non-profit corporation registered in the state of Maryland.
3 August, 2004: Our application for non-profit charitable, 501(c)(3) status was approved.
August 2005: we acquired AnyAirman.com, AnyMarine.com, AnySailor.com, and AnyCoastGuardsman.com domain names and started work on offering 5 service-specific versions of the web site.
24 October 2006: "Any Soldier®", "Any Marine®", "Any Airman®", "Any Sailor®", "Any Coast Guardsman®" and our heart logo were approved by the USPTO as registered trademarks of Any Soldier Inc.
14 February 2008: In just over 4 years, with the help of over 35,000 volunteer contacts and countless supporters world-wide, we have served over ONE MILLION TROOPS!!!
03 July 2009: We have served 1,362,895 Troops so far!
Thank you, very much, for your support!
