ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
THE MISSION AND PURPOSE OF THIS ORGANIZATION IS TO PERPETUALLY RECOGNIZE THE SACRIFICE OF AMERICA'S MILITARY FALLEN HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE ORGANIZATION PAYS TRIBUTE TO ALL MILITARY LIVES LOST, NOT ONLY WHILE SERVING ON ACTIVE DUTY BUT ALSO AS A RESULT OF SERVING. MILITARY DEATHS IN ALL WARS OR CONFLICTS AND ALL BRANCHES OF SERVICE FROM OUR NATION'S INCEPTION ARE RECOGNIZED. THE PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR PERPETUAL RECOGNITION IS A SPECIFIC AND DEDICATED SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE CREATED BY THIS ORGANIZATION: THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG, WHICH IS INTENDED TO FLY CONTINUOUSLY AS A TANGIBLE AND VISIBLE REMINDER TO ALL AMERICANS OF THE LIVES LOST IN DEFENSE OF OUR NATIONAL FREEDOMS.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION
FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A
LOVED ONE IN MILITARY SERVICE, OVER FOUR HUNDRED FAMILIES WERE HONORED THIS YEAR IN MANY STATES. WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NOW TWELVE STATE CHAPTERS WE ARE MAKING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPACT IN THOSE AREAS. THESE CHAPTERS ARE EXTENSIONS OF OUR ORGANIZATION, ACTING AS BOOTS ON THE GROUND AND STAFFED 100% BY VOLUNTEERS. WE NOW HAVE FOURTEEN STATE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG ADOPTIONS WITH MANY MORE IN PROCESS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERY U.S. STATE HAS A POINT OF CONTACT WHO CONTINUES TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ORGANIZATION WITH INCREASED AWARENESS AND OUTREACH EFFORTS. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE SLOWLY, DELIBERATELY AND SUCCESSFULLY CHANGING THE MINDSET OF THIS NATION. ONLY A PORTION OF THE EXTENSIVE ACTIVITY OVER THE LAST YEAR IS MENTIONED HERE.
