We all serve together. I am asking you to serve with me and help us impact Service Members lives with emergency needs. Each situation will be reviewed, there are no handouts - but as examples we will make payments on utilities, or help a Reserve Member get medical help if he has no coverage. We keep a full accounting record - and we post it publicly (minus names and personal information).
 Friends, Supporters, Hero's, and Shipmates,

I am now a reserve Senior Chief. I deployed to Fallujah Iraq under the parent command, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, and have also performed duty in Korea and other places. My family served right there with me - from home. We all had challenges, nothing was easy, we rely on each other.
My Father (seen top right) served in the US Army in the fifties and sixties. My uncles served in the US Navy - both World War II veterans, and both still alive. One served over Italy and North Africa fighting the Germans, and the other did multiple tours on a mortar boat as US forces pushed northward. In all cases they had amazing families supporting them and spouses, including my mother that sacrificed just as much as they did - and supporting others along the way. They taught us valuable lessons.... Service is not something you do - it is something you are. It's not on a checklist somewhere - It is giving what is needed, when it's needed without hesitation but always done with wisdom, so that all might have lives with hope. Thank you for joining this initiative donate what you can, and come back when you see a need. Who knows, it may be you one day? |
