Spirit of America Update
General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal joins Spirit of America Advisory Board
Spirit of America is proud to announce that General (Ret.) Stanley McChrystal has joined our Advisory Board.
Spirit of America is a Los Angeles-based 501c3 non-profit that helps our troops help local people. We provide goods and assistance for local people in response to needs identified by American service men and women. This fast, flexible and decentralized support improves conditions and relationships on the front lines.
At a dinner in New York two weeks ago, Gen. McChyrstal said, “The reason I’m so passionate about this is that Spirit of America has hit upon a model that is very flexible. It’s what we Americans we can do well. It’s being flexible at the lowest level. The US Government is not the right entity to do that. We’ve got the best service people in the world but we’ll never be flexible enough to bring all America’s strength to bear. That is the really entrepreneurial part… that is the focused part. I could not be more passionate about what Spirit of America is doing.”
