Today is the day we honor those who have served our country, both the troops and their families.
On days like this there are always debates about how to honor them, with views as diverse as the political spectrum. Some honor them by fighting for peace while others do so with flags.
But there is one thing I think we can all agree on. Those who are killed or wounded in service to this country deserve the deepest respect and so do the families who suffer along with them.
One of the best charities out there is Fisher House. Fisher House provides support for families with loved ones that have been wounded or killed in service. Imagine what it must be like to rush to the side of a wounded father/mother/husband/wife/son/daughter and to be staying at a hotel full of happy tourists ?
Imagine the cost when you have to stay for weeks on end ?
Fisher House provides free lodging for these families in an environment where everyone knows what you are going through.
We don’t always agree with eech other here at TMV but why don’t we come together to donate for this wonderful cause ?
Another superb cause is Paws For Purple Hearts which helps provide therapy pets for troops with PTSD (thanks for that Shaun !)
And remember you can give any day of the year.
