As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, most of us will stop and count our blessings. Many of us will count living in the United States of America and all the freedoms that come with our citizenship as one of our biggest blessings, but most of us will not feel the sacrifices made for that blessing on a personal level.
For those who have a loved one serving, there will be an empty seat at the table. There will be a missing smile and a void that no one can replace while their loved one is deployed.
For many families, the smile and presence of their hero will be only a memory because their loved one gave their life so that we can continue to live in a free nation and celebrate this annual holiday.
As we pause to give thanks for all of our blessings, let’s set an extra place at our tables this year in honor of those who serve.
Let’s give that place setting the seat of honor at the head of our tables.
Let’s remember that while we are gathered with family and friends, there are many who stand watch over us and our families and ensure that we can continue to celebrate our freedoms and our blessings each year.
We also ask that you consider showing your gratitude by making a donation to ensure that each of the deployed troops on our list can receive a package for Christmas.
Our staff at Military Missions Inc is made up completely of volunteers. No one gets paid, so every dime of your donation goes to ensure a package gets into the hands of each hero on our list.
You can donate right from our website via Paypal. You can also mail us a check, or you can stop by our office and make a cash donation.
Here are a few of the faces of those who have received our packages.
Thank you for your continued support of our troops through Military Missions Inc. It is our honor to be able to partner with you in this way.
On behalf of Military Missions Inc., we want to thank each one who is currently serving, and all who have worn the uniform in the past. We also want to thank the families who serve here on the homefront.
We are forever grateful for your service and your sacrifice.
Happy Thanksgiving!
