‎@ Mechelle. I know what you mean, but their goal is to reach out to the community to educate and encourage their involvement. As an example, long before this proclamation, we had a local lady reach out to a small group of us. She has us ov...er for lunch, we go on shopping outings, and she invites us to many events that her various organizations sponsor. Also, my neighbor, who I don't even know, came over while my husband was deployed and cut my grass. It's these little gestures that they are encouraging that can make a big difference. Baby steps. :)See More

Kimberly Arndt I am a military mom. My son served in Iraq as an infantryman. He was in boot camp 2 weeks after graduating high school. I have to say that I was not treated with respect by the military and I am now on the front lines fighting to get my son the benefits he so justly deserves.
