Operation R & R
Hilton Head Rentals & Golf would like to announce their participation in Operation R & R! Operation R & R was the idea of Dr. Grant Evans, who when traveling from his home in Ohio to Hilton Head, saw at both the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and on TV, all the sad goodbyes and ecstatic welcome homes that the soldiers and there families went through. After talking to some USO representatives at the airport, he came up with the idea of Operation R & R, which allows married members of the local military community and their dependants to come to Hilton Head for a few days within a year of their return from deployment. Vacation property owners donate their property clean, so that their accommodations are free of charge to the military families. Many area businesses are also providing discounts to the families on a variety of products. If you would like to make a contribution to this great organization please click here.

I am a soldier in the U.S. Army. I am currently deployed to FOB Taji in Iraq. I hagve not taken my R&R yet. I currently do not have a date. But my wife and I have spoken about what we wanted to do and, we came up with the idea of going to Hilton Head Island and dropping our 8yr old daughter and, 9 mon old son off at our families house in Savanna and having a little get away. One of my fellow soldiers informed me of operation R&R and told me to look into it. If you could give me more information I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely
Alex App
