The inspiration for creating Stateside Man Goods, www.statesidemangoods.com/ grew out of Mike’s (founder) experience while deployed on several occasions with the United States Marine Corps and later as a civilian. During his time away from home, Mike realized that most of the care packages guys received when deployed were, well… ordinary. While everyone is extremely thankful to receive anything when far from home, it was obvious how attitudes and overall moral rose the few times an individual was fortunate enough to have been sent something extraordinary in a package. It was the combination of these factors that led to Stateside Man Goods.
Our goal is to always provide only the best products that can be found in just one spot- The Stuff Guys Really Want™. We know this from our own experience of having been there ourselves.
Our product line has been reviewed, tried, tested, and approved by Men- most of whom still deploy away from home. We know what it is like to receive something special while deployed and strive to ensure that others do, too.
Our Mission:
To offer the best gift and care packages for Men in the world.
We accomplish this by constantly evaluating our current and future selection of items with the help of men worldwide.
Why We Are Better:
Very few businesses have been designed solely for the purposes of providing excellent gifts for Men. Fewer have been designed to provide excellent Gift Packages for Men. And yet, there are even fewer that have been established to provide excellent Gifts Packages for a real Man. In fact, there is only one…
At Stateside Man Goods we don’t offer hundreds of categories featuring ordinary items that very few guys really care to receive anyway. After all, there are but a few paths to a real Man’s heart- alcohol, tobacco, sex, guns, and food. Throw in sports, particularly ones that involve fighting, as well. Stateside Man Goods has got the food part down pat better than anyone else. (We’ll see about the others down the line.)
Our Gift Packages are simple, but filled with fantastic products carefully chosen by GUYS. Our Care Packages are the best available- anywhere. We don’t fill them with ordinary items, useless accessories, or silly games. Our premium snack foods taste great. Many of our snack items are unique to small town and family owned businesses across the country, and are not found in 99% of the gift packages on the market. Our non-food items are unique products that guys love- like handmade leather belts and extremely high quality knives.
Our gift packages are compiled in wood boxes or unique burlap sacks, as opposed to baskets, or other useless forms of gift packing. Sorry, no fancy bows on these gifts…
At Stateside Man Goods, you won’t find two dozen of the same item type. We keep our selections simple- just the way guys like it. We intentionally keep the number of brands we carry small to ensure that only the best make it into your gift package. After all, there isn’t much room at the top.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Approximately 200 Army Reserve Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) embarked on their year-long deployment in support of peacekeeping operations in Central Asia as they boarded two charter planes at at the Orlando International Airport Feb. 25, 2018.
Headquartered in Orlando, the 143d ESC conducted several training exercises and participated in numerous pre-deployment missions in the months leading up to this deployment. The Soldiers will conduct additional training at Ft. Hood, Texas, prior to their departure to the Middle East where they will oversee logistical operations for hundreds of American and allied military units across Central Command's theater of operations.
Volunteers from the USO Central Florida Chapter bade the troops farewell as they handed every Soldier a small care package containing sweets, snacks and toiletry items.

Students from St. Stephens Lutheran School turn donated goodies from North Carolina businesses into care packages at Hackney Service Merchandisers in Hickory, North Carolina for deployed North Carolina National Guard Soldiers via the NCNG Soldiers & Airmen Assistance Fund, Jan. 31, 2018. Members of Soldiers and Airmen Fund and retired NCNG leaders Air National Guard Col. Steven Martin and Army National Guard Sgt. Maj. Dennis Roach and Col. Drew Goodwin helped plan the event with Hickory businessman and retired Army Reserve Command Sgt. Maj. Dean Cline Sr. Hackney provided storage space for the $250,000 worth of snacks and comfort items. The 23 St. Stephens' students made quick work of loading up the nearly 500 care packages soon to be shipped to deployed NCNG Soldiers worldwide. Cline used years of experience in shipping and his business contacts to get donations for the packages. "You have to know how it works, connections mean everything," said Cline. In less than 2 hours the last package is taped shut, one for each deployed Soldier. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Robert Jordan / Released)
