Bailey Military Support

Bailey Military Support Our vision is to reduce military affiliated su***des in our community. We started out as a tiny church group in Fountain, Colorado.

We are a 501(c)(3) in Colorado Springs that is dedicated to supporting current and former service members and their families while honoring the legacy of Army CSM Scott Bailey. Our Vision is to reduce military affiliated su***des by focusing on the wellness of the entire family. When the church abruptly shut down, our president and founder, Skyler Nelson, realized that there was a need to continue

serving military families in the community. We officially became a 501c3 in February 2022. Since then, our tiny little group has expanded in more ways than we imagined. We are honored to serve our service members, veterans, and their families. Our biggest focus is the mental wellness of the children in our program. We strive to give our families the coping skills they need to overcome military life. Our inspiration for serving military families comes from the incredible example set by Army Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Scott Bailey. Scott was an inspiration to everybody he met. He was a dedicated leader, soldier, father, and friend. He led from the front and always made sure that his soldiers were taken care of. Scott was the true definition of inspiration. He was a troubled teen that dropped out of high school. His parents kicked him out of the house. He smoked a lot of w**d, drank a lot of alcohol, and was quite the ladies man. At the age of 25, Scott decided he wanted more out of life. He wanted a career he could be proud of. He definitely accomplished that. He enlisted in the Army in Feb of 1989 and was planning to retire in Feb of 2018. After dedicating almost 30 years of his life to his country and soldiers. Unfortunately, he lost his life three months prior to retirement. Instead of celebrating his retirement, his family and friends were laying him to rest at Arlington. Scott went from being a high school drop out to achieving the rank of command sergeant major, which is the highest enlisted rank in the Army. He also earned a bachelor’s degree in business. He never let his past define him or limit him. While serving as a brigade command sergeant major in 2014, Scott was a guest on a radio show that does a weekly Fort Hood Update. When asked what they do to bring soldiers back home, he replied, “What we don’t do, we don’t compromise making sure that they are taken care of before they go there. We need to make sure that everything that they do, that all their medical issues, behavioral health isssues, financial administrative needs are taken care of before we send them off. There’s nothing more important than making sure that soldier is taken care of and ready to integrate with his family after a deployment. That’s our number one priority with these soldiers.”

Today we honor and recognize our military’s Purple Heart recipients, including my Papa Mike. He's a man who inspires me through his military service, family values and unwavering faith.

The Purple Heart is awarded to service members who are wounded or killed by the enemy in combat. Its origins trace back to 1782 with the Badge of Military Merit, and then, in 1932, the Purple Heart as we know it was officially established. 💜

We would love to hear about your hero in the comments.

Much Love,
Sky

Thank you so much Jeanna for taking the time to make these beautiful pocket prayer quilts and donating one for every guest that will be attending A Night of Hope next month. ❤️

Sending out an order of pocket prayer quilts today. Was hoping to sew some today but our power is out again with no apparent reason. This is getting ridiculous and very frustrating.

As our event has grown, we’ve been blessed with an incredible amount of support from our donors. To help ensure those generous donations can bless as many families as possible, we’ve made one small change this year.

Because some households have multiple adults and older teens participating in the adult program, adult giveaway prizes will be limited to two per household.

Every guest attending A Night of Hope will also receive a resource bag filled with resources and small gifts.

As always, every child participating in our “You Bee-Long” children’s program will get to choose a gift from the children’s prize table and go home with a resource bag.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make A Night of Hope a special evening for everyone.

We are so head over heels in love with our newest honorary lifetime member, Adalyn! Congratulations, Brittny and Anthony. We know CSM Scott Bailey would be showing her off to every single person and bragging about his incredible daughter, Brittny, and his sweet granddaughter, Adalyn! Scott was so incredibly proud of Brittny for joining the Army and always bragged about her to everybody at work. Later, when she left the service and went to school for special effects, he loved showing off all of her incredible creations. There is no doubt he would be absolutely over the moon to meet his newest granddaughter. Nothing brought Scott more joy and pride than his daughters and grandbabies. ❤️😍🥰

Xoxo,
Sky

We are so humbled and honored whenever we have the opportunity to serve Gold Star children.

Around 40% of Gold Star children are under the age of five when they lose their parent, and around 30% are between the ages of 6 and 11 years old.

For those who may not know, the term “Gold Star” refers to a family member whose loved one died while serving on active duty. While it’s often associated with those who made the ultimate sacrifice and were killed in action, it also includes service members who were not killed in combat.

Today, we honor every Gold Star child. 🇺🇸💙
