Soldiers Organized Services

We are a group of dedicated volunteers and our mission is to give free rides to servicemembers stranded in the Palm Springs International Airport and return them to the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base. The military motto is “leave no serviceman behind.” Here at SOS, our motto is “leave no serviceman stranded at the airport.” Our dedicated volunteers and our founder, Erica Stone, truly believe in these mottoes. Not only do we transport our servicemen to and from Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, but we raise the funds to pay for the gas, insurance, and upkeep to ensure we can accomplish their mission! We receive calls from our military men and women who are stranded at the Palm Springs International Airport, especially after the last bus for Twentynine Palms has left. When we do, we contact one of our tireless volunteer drivers to take that service member and give them free transportation to the Marine Corp Base. Many of these service members do not have the $200 taxicab fare needed to get to their duty station. Because of our efforts, no veteran will ever be stranded at the airport overnight, be alone in a strange town, and ever have to be stranded at the airport. The men and women of Soldiers Organized Services take these service men and women to their base, free-of-charge, in recognition of their noble service for our country!
