Support an American Soldier
This page is dedicated to our American soldiers, recovering soldiers and families for their service to our country.
Please use any of these resources to support our soldiers and families. And if you know of additional resources and can share helpful information, please post in the comments section below and I’ll add it to this page as appropriate. –Laura Benjamin

IT IS THE SOLDIER
“It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.” –Charles M. Province
