This weekend America will celebrate the heroes we have lost during combat over the many years of our nation’s history. It is so important for us to remember these people every day, but a holiday in their honor is the very least we can do. They fought to give us all the opportunities that we have come to know today.

Support Military Families and Veterans This Memorial Day

Posted on May 25, 2011 by Vanessa Cardoni

For many, Memorial Day marks the start of summer, and is a day for barbeques, trips to the beach, and time with family and friends. However, the true meaning of Memorial Day (once known as Decoration Day) is to remember the soldiers who have died in service to our country. But soldiers are not the only ones who make a sacrifice -- their families often have to make sacrifices as well. Organizations around the country are banding together to help our troops and their families gain the resources to meet their needs. If you're a military member, military spouse or veteran, the Goodwill in your community can work with you to create an individualized plan to help you identify and set realistic and achievable goals.

Reflections from a Veterans Day Commute

Posted on November 12, 2015 (August 31, 2017) by Seth Turner

Whether it’s Veterans Day, Memorial Day or any other day of the year, as my thoughts drift from the wife and kids to my daily to-do list, these adjacent memorials never fail to give purpose to my day by reminding me of the sacrifices made, and being made, by people who have served in the armed forces and their families.
