Military Families United

The National Gold Star Family Registry is the first comprehensive database of the United States’ fallen Heroes and their families ever developed. Whether they gave their life in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, WWII, or another conflict, the Registry is a place to ensure their memory will live on. The Registry affords family members the opportunity to publicly remember their Hero, giving future generations a sense of who these brave Americans were—not only how they died, but, more importantly, how they lived.

Military Families United has partnered with The Arts Institute to award four $25,000 scholarships to military spouses. This scholarship betters the lives of the entire military family by providing a higher education at any of The Arts Institutes’ schools.  Scholarship applications will be accepted January 30, 2012 through March 15, 2012.

Military Families United’s Camp Desert Kids helps military children better understand the deployments that shape their lives. Through a fun event, Camp Desert Kids gives military children the opportunity to experience deployment with their homefront parent in a unique way. Utilizing maps, fun facts, cultural activities, and regional food and drink, Camp Desert Kids works to reduce the unknown in our military children’s lives.

Operation Frontline Families engages members of Congress, the Administration, and the general public in efforts to communicate information about our brave men and women in uniform and their mission to protect our freedom. Through the powerful voice of military families, this program ensures that those in positions of power are continually cognizant of the effect their decisions have on the well-being of our troops, our veterans, and their families.
