Let us not forget why these brave men and women lost their lives... For US!! In an effort to preserve the freedom and rights, that we as Americans take forganted each and everyday, a total stranger to most, without question has laid down their lives.
All of these local hero's should be remembered by their names, not as a number or a grim statistic of the cost of our freedom. That is why I have created this site. I am sure we all understand that the cost of freedom does not come without a heavy price tag, but what we don't often see is the effects each and everyone of these deaths has on us here at home. For every fallen soldier there is a shattered family who's life has been turned up-side down in one fatefull moment. The finanicial impact can sometimes be bevistating, especially in single income families with young children. The National Military Family Association foundation was established in 2003 to assist in aiding families of fallen soldiers with our finanial contributions. As we continue to lose heros so grows the scares of impact on all of us.
