It’s been 3 weeks and we’re still thinking about the connections we made at the AUSA Annual! 💙

From catching up with familiar faces to meeting new partners, we loved being part of the Family Readiness Pavilion and sharing ways to get involved with UTR, sign up for Storytime with a Service Member, and support military families.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, and see you next year!

Today, we honor service members who are currently deployed, those who have served far from home, and the families who navigate the distance alongside them.

To our service members, thank you for your dedication and sacrifice. To military families, we recognize your strength, your sacrifices, and the love that bridges the miles.💙

On October 10, UTR had the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.

It was a moving tribute to the service members who gave their lives in service to our country, and a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by military families. We left with deep gratitude and a renewed commitment to the families we serve.
