Facebook Giving Tuesday

Facebook Giving Tuesday

When America loses one service member, some people lose everything. On Giving Tuesday, I choose to honor surviving families by giving to TAPS, the only organization that provides 24/7 support to the military bereaved. Thanks to @tapsorg, the children, spouses, parents, and battle buddies of people who have made the ultimate sacrifice are not left alone to confront the complex grief that emerges when a service person dies, whether in action, by suicide, or from illness caused by toxic exposure. This makes healing possible, even beautiful. “Thanks to TAPS, I'm no longer a survivor; I'm a champion,” says Austin (pictured above), whose father, Army Major David Audo, died by suicide while on active duty in Iraq. “Now I get to go out into the world and encourage other survivors to champion their loss and go and make something of it.” If you can, please join me in honoring Major Audo, championing Austin, and standing with all of our bereaved military families by making a gift to TAPS: taps.org/donate #standwithsurvivors #serviceandsacrifice #theultimatesacrifice #givingtuesday #freedomisntfree #veterans
