Somerset County Military Family Support Group

Somerset County Military Family Support Group Keeping hearts at home connected with hearts abroad. If help cannot be provided by the group, you will be instructed as to where to turn.

Mission: Our desire is to assist soldiers and their families by providing support that promotes self-sufficiency, strength, stability, readiness and love. Our support group was formed in March of 2003 and is comprised of military families, Vietnam Veterans, retired military, and community members. Now, more than ever, whether a family member, a spouse, or a friend, you may take comfort in knowing

there is a support system in place at all times to make deployment or, and separation from, your loved one as easy as possible. Our group has a large network to help the family left behind with any challenges that may arise from home maintenance to insurance issues. Our "support family" watches out for one another. With overwhelming pride we stand united in support of, pray for, correspond, and to thank the families of the brave soldiers, sailors, and airmen defending our freedom and protecting the United States of America.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day — attending parades, enjoying backyard picnics, and welcoming the start of summer — we pause to remember the true meaning of this day.

Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice, and the sacrifice carried by their families, is the reason for the freedoms we enjoy each day.

Today, we remember the fallen, we honor their legacy, and we keep their families in our thoughts and prayers.

From all of us at Somerset County Military Family Support Group, we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

We are beyond grateful for the incredibly generous donation from the Somerset American Legion Ladies Auxiliary's Operation Christmas for the Kids and Veterans. Brenda Stanczyk and Rebecca Martin presented the check.🇺🇸

Your support means more than words can express. Because of your kindness, we are able to continue providing ongoing care packages to those serving so far from home and assistance to the veterans who have given so much.🎗️

It truly takes a community to make this kind of impact, and we are so thankful to have you standing beside us as we work to fulfill our mission. Your generosity will make a real difference — and we couldn’t do this without you.❣️

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you. 💙
