AMERICA - LINCOLN, NE
From initially decorate the less frequented area of Arlington Cemetery, to evolving into a nationwide organization. The mission remains steadfast in honoring those who have bravely sacrificed for freedom and security.
Commemorating the fallen, paying tribute to those in service, and educating future generations on the significance of liberty are their core values. Dedicated volunteers are the lifeblood of the initiative, tirelessly spreading this crucial message and motivating others to participate.
COMING TO TERMS
WITH THE LOSS
Receiving the field officer and chaplain at your doorstep, followed by the sudden realization, can be extremely overwhelming. During this period of grief, the military strives to offer comfort and support to the family. The process of healing and coming to terms with the loss is a lengthy one.
In these tough moments, the true power of community shines brightly. Surround yourself with loved ones who can offer comfort and empathy. Give yourself the necessary time and space to mourn in your unique way. With the support of those around you, you will discover the resilience needed to navigate this challenging journey of healing and coping.
LIVING WITH SEVERE DISABILITY
The passing of a service member is not always the most tragic event. Experiencing severe physical or mental disability can also be a significant personal loss for both the individual and their family. Coping with shattered hopes and dreams can be deeply distressing.
Discovering a new direction is easier with help from loved ones, friends, and supportive individuals. The greatest challenge lies in asking for and accepting this help.
