Since September 11, 2001, thousands of Americans serving in our Armed Forces have given their lives to protect our freedoms in the global fight against terrorism. The families of these fallen heroes deserve to be recognized for their sacrifice. They need the help and support of a grateful community -- indeed a grateful nation. Many of the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country have left behind a spouse and/or children. In addition to dealing with the loss of a husband, wife, mother or father, these families must also deal with the challenges of rebuilding their lives. They must deal with the issues of finding a job, raising children, relocating, providing for children’s education, or even providing for basic needs such as food, car payments, mortgage, or rent. The Armed Forces provide some benefits, such as Serviceman’s Group Life Insurance (SGLI), a $12,000 death benefit, continued payment of a portion of service member’s military salary, assistance with burial costs, health care and continued use of military housing for up to six months. While these benefits are helpful, the financial needs that many of these families face may require immediate assistance.

The Our Fallen Heroes Foundation provides support to the families of military personnel who have given their lives in the defense of our country in operations since 9/11. The gifts provided to each military dependent family are intended to help these victims through any short-term or long-term financial needs that they may have. Gifts can be made quietly in order to protect the privacy of families needing assistance. Our objective is to support these families in their time of need. Equally important to material assistance provided is the comfort these families can have knowing that a grateful community will never forget the sacrifice they have made for us.

The Our Fallen Heroes Foundation works in conjunction with the casualty assistance offices of the United States Armed Forces to determine families eligible for financial support. The foundation will provide
