Vickie Durfee, founder and executive director of Full Circle Home, shares the organization's mission and how it helps connect troops and their loved ones during deployments on 'Fox News Live.'
Durfee shared that the organization began when her son was deployed and asked her to send something to his then-girlfriend and now wife.
"I quickly realized that there was no other program like this because in each box is a handwritten love note from the service member. And that makes it very personal and very important," she said."There's also a little packet of tissues in there because obviously,can be very emotional. And so we just kept working on this, and we have feedback from so many people. We've already gotten calls this year and emails and notes.
The founder added that Full Circle Home also brings boxes to the Walter Reed Medical Center to support the men and women who are recovering. "Lisa Miller is basically the other half of Full Circle Home, and she runs the Walter Reed program. We brought 100 boxes down there. Actually, 75 were for Mother's Day and 25 we left for Father's Day coming up, so we do support the men at home as well.
