Thanksgiving Messages 🫶

The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes recently mailed out 200 $70 meal checks to provide dinner to wounded veterans and their families. It warms our hearts to read the responses we receive —

“We just received the generous check to help with our Thanksgiving celebration and wanted to offer our sincere thanks. We have a large family and as much as we cherish the time we get to be together, feeding so many mouths can be a bit stressful. Your gift takes a bit of the pressure off, allowing us to relax and be more present with our loved ones. That is a gift that we could never put a dollar value on.” - 1SG, Ret, US Army and his grateful family

“First of all, on behalf of myself and my family, THANK YOU so much!!! We received your letter/card and check in the mail. What an unexpected, yet extremely wonderful and oh so needed surprise. I cannot tell you what perfect timing that this comes. We have been struggling with the price increase on food, gas and various other living expenses lately. This gift will help us out tremendously. Again, thank you so much for the wonderful surprise. We appreciate it more than you know, especially this year when it’s so incredibly needed!” - Veteran Family

Some find this season to be tough, while others experience it as a season of joy. Whether you're facing difficulties or enjoying festivities, whether you have much or little, let's unite in giving thanks for today, and each other.

"Recently, my family fell upon hard times when several unexpected and unplanned expenses came up. We don't ever like to ask for help but we didn't want to get any further behind on the bills and the stress was overwhelming. We are so grateful that the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes prevented our vehicle from being repossessed. The assistance helped us get back on track with our budget and lowered our stress levels tremendously. Thank you Donors and Staff for looking out for us during one of our greatest times of need."

Heroes Freedom Marriage Retreat Weekend 2023 was a huge success! Thanks to our Patriot Sponsor ATA Inc., 6 veteran couples gathered together for an intimate reconnection workshop and explored the historic area of Williamsburg with other combat-wounded veterans!

One of our attendees shared this as a takeaway, "Pride makes an apology transactional and gives it less meaning. I'm learning to take ownership of my actions that hurt my spouse and make my apology meaningful."

Thank you American Target Advertising for making this year's event possible.

On this Veterans Day, we’d like to offer our most sincere gratitude to all who have served and are serving. We know freedom isn’t free. Your courage and sacrifice are the foundation of our freedom. Thank you for your service. 🙏🇺🇸
