Meet Today’s Hero – Daniel

December 7, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Meet today’s hero, Daniel.  His wife says it best so we share her words.

“My hero is my husband, Daniel. He is currently serving in Afghanistan as a Chaplin’s assistant for the 1-72nd Infantry Brigade, Blackhawks! He is the most honest and caring person I know. He is a magnificent father to our son, who just turned 3 years old and our daughter who is about to turn 2 years old. He makes everyone around him feel safe and appreciated.  Daniel is a family man because that is what’s most important to him and he never hesitates to spend time with us. I am very proud of my soldier and I will stand behind him forever. He is my hero.”

All of us at Military Missions are so grateful for Daniel’s sacrifice and willingness to serve. Please keep Daniel and his family, as well as the entire 1-72nd Infantry Brigade in your prayers.

About Beth

I have what I consider to be the best job on the planet. I have the privilege of supporting and encouraging the brave men and women who were the uniform of the US military. I did not set out to start a nonprofit organization, I simply did what came naturally when my son joined the US Marine Corps in 2004. I followed my mother’s heart.

As the mother of three boys, I spent countless hours as home school mom, room mother, team mother, and parent volunteer. One day I found myself to be the adopted platoon mom to a unit of Marines. What started out as a mother sending care packages to her son has turned into a fast-growing nonprofit that keeps me busy day and night, and I love every minute of it!

When I mailed the first care package several years ago, I had no idea that I would have an opportunity to send out thousands of care packages each year and become an advocate for Wounded Warriors and Veterans suffering with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury. When I became the mother of a disabled veteran suffering with TBI and PTSD, and saw, firsthand, the struggles and the needs, I knew it was my obligation to support those who have been willing to stand in the gap for my freedom. It’s the least I can do to say thanks.

I work with various programs in our community, as well as other advocates and organizations to meet the needs of our military and veteran population in Central Kentucky. I also have the privilege of serving on the board at Voice of Warriors and enjoy hosting VOW Talk Radio’s weekly program on Monday nights.
