Good morning,

My brother is a Navy SEAL; he and his team were some of the first boots on the ground in Afghanistan after 9/11 and he has rotated in and out every 4 months since (with some few exceptions). You also know that many Special Operations personnel, along with several SEAL’s, were killed this month in a helicopter crash. What you may not know is that there is very little ongoing benefits for the families of the fallen soldiers. Below you will find links to non-profit groups whose sole purpose is to provide support to families of fallen SEAL’s and Special Operations members. I hope you will consider a donation, no matter how big or small, to help the families of our fallen brothers. These sites were suggested by my brother.

If you are interested in contributing to the families of those who were killed, the best options are the Naval Special Warfare Foundation and the Special Operations Warrior Fund.

The Naval Special Warfare Foundation's mission is to provide immediate and ongoing support and assistance to the Naval Special Warfare community and their families. Donation methods are explained on their website at http://www.nswfoundation.org/

The Special Operations Warrior Foundation provides full scholarship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations personnel who die in operational or training missions and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded special operations personnel and their families. The Website is http://www.specialops.org/

Thank you for your consideration. I have donated to both of the sites.

 

I'll add another:
Tommy V Challenge/Thomas J. Valentine Memorial Fund

Tom was a friend of mine growing up. His wife put on together this memorial event. As stated on the website:
Please consider a dontation to this honorable cause.
