We are remembering our veterans and service men and women today!
Be there for military families by visiting www.thanksforbeingthere.com and sharing a heartfelt thank you. During this week, from Nov. 8-14th, State Farm will donate $1 to Fisher House for every thank you sent.
“Fisher House is a military support organization that is there for military families whose loved ones are undergoing treatment at military or Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers throughout the country and overseas in Germany. They will receive a donation of up to $50,000.
The goal of Fisher House Foundation is to ensure families of wounded service men and women have a “home away from home” on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers, enabling family members to be close when their loved one is hospitalized for an unexpected illness, disease or injury. There are 43 Fisher Houses located on 18 military installations and 13 VA medical centers in the United States, and all homes are operated and maintained by the Army, Navy, Air Force or Department of Veterans Affairs. In 2008 alone, these comfort homes saved military families more than $12 million in lodging expenses.”
