Hi. We're the D'Andrea brothers -- the people behind HOOAH.com –- and we've had an ethic of supporting the troops from the moment we first formed our company. Why? Because we have friends downrange who are putting it on the line for the rest of us.

HOOAH.com is the Site that Supports the Troops. It's the online community dedicated to military, family, and friends. HOOAH.com supports servicemembers and everyone who shares the HOOAH spirit by providing a free place to get together, have fun, and share pictures, videos, ideas, thoughts, messages, and stories.





We began in 2004 by becoming the Army's research partner. Our focus was improving nutrition for the men and women of the Armed Services. So we created the world's most perfect energy bar: the Soldier FuelTM bar.

We're very proud of the fact that from the first dollar we ever made with our energy bars, we were taking out a chunk and giving money back to support the troops.



We are a main sponsor of the Army Ten-Miler, one of the military's premiere sporting events, where 24,000 runners show their support for the Army. Check out the video.

We sponsor the Navy Five-Miler.

We're a primary sponsor of Operation Gratitude, a great organization which has sent over 153,000 care packages to deployed Armed Servicemembers.

We're a main sponsor of TRAIL TO RECOVERY –– two veterans' courageous 2,200-mile hike along the Appalachian trail to raise funds for wounded veterans.

We're a main sponsor the Army MWR World Class Athletes Program –– the program that supports and trains the Army's Olympic-caliber athletes.

We donate tens of thousands of bars & drinks to the U.S. Marine Corps Marathon each year.

We support anysoldier.com… where we help people send care packages to deployed Service Members. One of the most moving things we've seen is the outpouring of affection and respect that is captured in the notes people send to Soldiers along with the care packages.

We also create unique and meaningful new programs for Soldiers, such as our Warriors on the Water program with BASS/ESPN —– where we bring Soldiers into the boats to ride alongside the elite anglers during BASSMASTER tournaments. Check out the video. We also host special Warriors on the Water events for wounded service-members from Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

We've created an initiative called WHO'S HOOAH, where we recognize members of the Armed Services who embody the spirit of HOOAH, and we make a sizable charitable donation in his/her name to a worthy cause.

And the list of the events we sponsor goes on and on... from USO military family events to MCCS SemperFit events at Camp Pendleton and Quantico.

For all of these events and programs, in addition to the standard sponsorships, we also give away hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of free energy bars and drinks to members of the military.


We have received notes from the senior leadership in the US Army saying things like "rarely is support as palpable as yours... it is because of companies such as yours that our Soldiers strive to keep America safe and free. On behalf of the Army's senior leadership I want to extend my thanks for your dedication and selfless service."

Senior military personnel have coined us on several occasions for "outstanding service to the Armed Forces."


Thank you to the members of the Armed Services, and to everyone who supports them.
