Why Troop Rewards?

Troop Rewards was founded on the mission of providing RnR Recovery Retreats for returning U.S. Armed Forces, and their families, who served overseas in Iraqi, Afghanistan and other hostile deployment AOR's. 

These retreats create opportunities for these families to meet other military families who have dealt with similar hardships during their deployments and to bond over their shared experiences and in the process create lasting memories with their families and friends.

Our team is made up entirely of unpaid volunteers. That is why we are especially happy to find new volunteers who are willing to find and solicit quality luxury hotels to host our events. Do you want to support us by putting together an event at a host hotel or resort in your area? Then do not hesitate to contact us. We will help you put the event together once you have a host hotel willing to hold an event.
