💭 Did you know, the word 'military' stems from the Latin word for 'soldier'? Representing the strength and tenacity of our nation's soldiers, our etymology also forms an essential part of our charity's mission — to fight cancer, together, and provide critical relief for ex- or serving soldiers who need us most.

So powerful and so memorable

Hi folks, My nephew Lars (don't ask) has bobbed up the Matterhorn (?????) to raise some cash for MacMillan, and the Royal Navy / Royal Marines charity (and possibly because he wanted to get some seriously cool looking holiday snaps) If you have any spare cash and want to chuck it his way, the link is below. Note the cash is split 2:2:1 between Macmillan, the RNRMC and project costs. https://lnkd.in/eTqCkHTx

Thank You Kimco Realty Corporation... For once again generously supporting the lifesaving mission of the combat veteran 501(c)(3) Heroes To Heroes Foundation! Are you, or your company, looking for a military veteran charity to help where your donation of any amount can move the needle in helping our American heroes? Read a brief description of the mission below, with links for more information at the end. Questions? Just ask me! Heroes To Heroes Foundation   Heroes To Heroes Foundation is a $1MM nondenominational combat veteran 501(c)3) that provides donors of any amount the ability to make a huge impact on our mission.   As an overview, the mission is successfully saving vets returning home suffering moral injury, and who live at serious risk of death by suicide. Our 12-month curriculum focuses on peer support, spiritual reawakening, and reconnection to faith.   We bring these American heroes from suicidal ideation to community reintegration!   HTH is 4-Star Charity Navigator-rated and the efficacy of our program has been validated by a long-term study conducted by Dr. Joseph Currier, a leader in the area of moral injury at the University of South Alabama.   A key to our program is a 10-day Team journey to Israel towards the middle of the year-long program, critical for the peer support, spirituality, and reconnection to faith pieces of our mission. In Israel, the vets travel with 3 members of the IDF who are suffering in much the same way.   We have Teams that just returned from Israel now, our first Journey since the atrocities of October 7th!   These are links for more information.   Video of program participants on the ground in Israel: https://lnkd.in/erMBFP8h HTH website: https://lnkd.in/eSkXGpK 14th Annual HTH Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball Classic: https://lnkd.in/exiD33EA Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to speak in more detail.   Mike #veterans #military #suicideprevention #charity #givingback #peersupport #spirituality #faith #business

Today, as we celebrate Memorial Day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the true essence of this day. → It's not just about barbecues and long weekends. → It's about remembering the brave souls who fought for our freedom. → It's about honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. A few thoughts on how we can honor our heroes: → Take a moment to remember and honor the fallen soldiers. Their bravery and sacrifice have given us the freedom we enjoy today. → If you know a veteran or someone who has lost a loved one in service, share their stories. Keeping their memory alive is the least we can do. → Find ways to support veterans and their families. This could be through donations, volunteering, or simply lending a listening ear. Let’s not forget: → Freedom isn't free. It comes at a great cost. → Today is a day to remember those who paid that cost with their lives. → Let’s honor them by appreciating the freedoms we have and by striving to make this world a better place in their memory. P.S. - How are you honoring Memorial Day today? #memorialday
