Great things are on the horizon
The government has not forgotten you, neither has your Brothers and Sisters. Be informed and unmistaken, it’s very important to know your authority.
Uncover a realm of opportunities.
Whether you need help with your business and/or legal matters, are struggling with PTSD or relationship issues, never believe you are alone. There are resources available to help, and many organizations like ours fight together so there are no obstacles left standing between you and these answers.
Have you heard of these resources?
Everyone knows where the VA Office is, but did you know that there is a Veteran’s Retreat helping elders and young men and women to overcome substance abuse, PTSD, depression and more?

Sometimes, Veterans need a real vacation
iHoot is an amazing organization that organizes all-expenses-paid travel experiences for our beloved veterans. Mental Health is important, and our veterans deserve some peace of mind. Whether you became an Admiral or retired honorably as a Sergeant, you deserve this. We LOVE RCI and all of its affiliate organizations, whether weeks or points you couldn’t convince us you didn’t find an amazing bargain.
That being said, sacrificing everything for this country, it’s an emotional experience that couldn’t be described not to have to pay for a good memory. We have high respect for all businesses and are proud of what has been accomplished throughout each marketplace in this nation. When we get home from a hard deployment, we appreciate seeing a growing economy and hearing good news to distract from a hard memory to forget.
Books on Bases is a program started by Blue Star Families in conjunction with Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.) to positively impact the lives of military children through the power of reading. Each year, books are donated to military children, base libraries, Department of Defense schools, and military-impacted public schools.
The Operation Homefront Back-to-School Brigade is an amazing program to help military families in need. You can receive or donate backpacks, notebooks, notebook paper, pens, pencils, colored pencils, crayons, markers, calculators, glue, rulers, and other school supplies from your local chapter. Look for dates of this yearly event by searching for your local chapter online or via Facebook.
Our Military Kids provides grants to military member’s children for participation in sports, fine arts, camps, and tutoring programs that nurture and sustain children while a parent is away in service to our country or recovering from injury.
Funded by the Department of Defense MWR Library Program, Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program and Navy General Library Program, Tutor.com offers free tutoring for military families. Get homework and studying help from a professional tutor any time you need it — 24/7 on as many as 50 different subject matters. And pssst … they even have an app!
Military youth and teen programs are designed to support military children as they transition from childhood into adulthood. Youth centers are available on almost every installation where families PCS. Centers are staffed with trained professionals who understand how to connect with youth, support them in their teen years and recognize the signs of stress.
We’re all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation.
Do you know that many American Angels struggle with self-forgiveness and even depression?
When veterans are gathered it’s easiest to heal and find sanity, which is the intent of some of our programs.
In this Post-Pandemic America, it’s more important now than ever for us to come together. To forgive as much as we need it. The American Dream was never perfect, and it has changed, yes.
Although the future is uncertain, one thing that will never change is that on this world stage, we are in this together.
No one had the answers when they needed it. No one had the right instincts or applied them the right way as only Jesus would. It’s OK to feel as though you’ve failed.
Or perhaps just foolish, to hope. Here we carry on that fight, and if you are willing, perhaps we can help each other overcome how these hardships have impacted the community around us.
Here we don’t throw stones. It must be healed. It’s the definition of America. Welcome to a humble sanctuary of forgotten memories.
