Being There - Reaching Out provides Compassion, Understanding, Listening and Love to our Families of our Fallen Military. Being a Vietnam Veteran, I have learned that it is sharing our experiences and our hope with the living keeps the spirits of my Brother & sister who gave thier all for my Freedom. Being There Reaching Out allows the families to be together with thier sorrows as well as with thier hope. Truly a Blessing shared.

It is not about the money. It about Being There and Reaching Out. A bit of money helps those in need to attend a gathering that they may not be able to afford.

My experience with volunteering with BTRO is over the top heart warming and at the same time heart wrenching. These families have found one another only through the efforts of this organization. The families are neatly organized to come together at least quarterly. Age appropriate activities are carefully planned for young and old. Details for gatherings and fund raising are carefully thought out and taken care of so families can simply come together and share. BTRO was created out of insight, empathy and hard work. The organizational roots are firmly planted. With families becoming more involved and educated, they become active on the board and stronger within the organization. The families are now 'reaching out and are being there' for the new families in that are losing loved ones in the war. This is a very fine organization that has become an extended family and for some the only family that understands.

Seeing the families help one another to smile, even laugh, without guilt. To share and cry at anytime with eachother knowing their grieving is understood and allowed for however long it takes.
