Mission
IN KEEPING WITH OUR MISSION AND PRIMARY GOALS, WE CONTINUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THIS NATION WITH THE MESSAGE OF PERPETUALLY RECOGNIZING OUR MILITARY FALLEN HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES.

About
SUMMARY REPORT 2018 THE HONOR AND REMEMBER ORGANIZATION CONTINUES TO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE MINDSET OF OUR NATION AND OUR WORLD. MANY OF YOU HAVE SUPPORTED US FROM OUR INCEPTION AND WATCHED OUR IMPACT GROW, WHILE OTHERS OF YOU HAVE RECENTLY COME ON BOARD. MANY OF THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH HONOR AND REMEMBER MAY NOT REALIZE THE FULL BREADTH OF WHAT WE DO WITH SO FEW RESOURCES TO LEAVE A LASTING AND PERPETUAL LEGACY OF PUBLIC REMEMBRANCE. ADDITIONALLY, HONOR AND REMEMBER ENABLES CITIZENS AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO PARTICIPATE BY HONORING FAMILIES AND MAKING PRESENTATIONS BASED IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. OUR MISSION IS UNWAVERING AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON WHAT THE LATEST RELEVANT HOT BUTTON MAY BE. FOR EXAMPLE, PTS SUICIDE HAS BECOME THE LATEST TOPIC TO RECEIVE NATIONAL ATTENTION AND MANY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE COME INTO BEING TO TAKE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS AN AREA WE HAVE EMBRACED FROM OUR INCEPTION. OUR ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS ARE VERY CLEAR AND CONCISE AND CAN BE ARTICULATED IN FOUR SIMPLE WORDS: ESTABLISH, EDUCATE, PRESENT, COMFORT. THESE CONCEPTS FORM THE BASIS FOR THE ENTIRE VISION AND ARE CORNERSTONES OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE TWELVE ALL-VOLUNTEER HONOR AND REMEMBER STATE CHAPTERS THAT ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THE FURTHERANCE OF THE MISSION, AS WELL AS MANY VOLUNTEER "AMBASSADORS" WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE AWARENESS AND PRESENTATION PROCESS. EVERY DAY IS SPENT DILIGENTLY WORKING TO FURTHER DEVELOP A BROADER NATIONAL SCOPE IN EACH OF THE FOLLOWING CRITICAL AREAS. ESTABLISH - ONE NEW STATE, VERMONT, HAS OFFICIALLY ADOPTED THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG AS AN OFFICIAL SYMBOL IN 2018, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO 24. SEVERAL STATES WERE IN POSITION TO ADOPT, INCLUDING KENTUCKY, MICHIGAN, FLORIDA, RHODE ISLAND AND MASSACHUSETTS. UNFORTUNATELY, ADOPTION EFFORTS IN THOSE STATES HAVE BEEN DELAYED. MORE STATES ARE CONSIDERING LEGISLATION FOR 2019 SESSIONS AND WE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL ALL 50 ARE IN PLACE. ADDITIONALLY, MANY MORE ORGANIZATIONS AND BUSINESSES ARE DISPLAYING THE FLAG AND SUPPORTING THE MISSION. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS STILL CONGRESSIONAL ADOPTION AND WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT OUR NATIONAL LEGISLATURE WILL EVENTUALLY EMBRACE THE FLAG. IN ADDITION, WE ARE CONTINUALLY PURSUING AND RECEIVING ENDORSEMENTS FROM INDIVIDUAL MUNICIPALITIES, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS, ASSOCIATIONS AND CORPORATIONS, PROMOTING THE FLAG'S IDENTITY EVERYWHERE. WE ARE WORKING TO ESTABLISH THE TRADITION THAT EVERY TIME THERE IS A REPORTED MILITARY CASUALTY, HR FLAGS ARE FLOWN EVERYWHERE IN TRIBUTE. EDUCATE - WE CONTINUE OUR MISSION TO EDUCATE AMERICANS ON WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A GOLD STAR FAMILY MEMBER. MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN LATELY TO THESE FAMILIES THROUGH PERIODIC POLITICAL NEWS. EDUCATION IS KEY TO BRINGING ABOUT AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WILL ULTIMATELY CHANGE MINDSETS AND BRING NEEDED RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION FOR THE PRICE OF OUR LIBERTY. MUCH OF THE EDUCATION COMES FROM FLAG PRESENTATIONS AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATION AND COMPANIES DEDICATED TO FLYING THE HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG AND SHARING THE MESSAGE. RELATIONSHIPS CONTINUE TO GROW WITH NASCAR, SARGENTO, GEICO, SPARTANNASH, LIBERTY TAX AND OTHERS. OPPORTUNITIES TO EDUCATE OCCUR AT BOTH THE NATIONAL AND LOCAL LEVEL. ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS SUCH AS SETTING UP LITERATURE AND PRODUCT TABLES, SPEAKING AT MAJOR VENUES, DOING INTERVIEWS FOR RADIO, TELEVISION, ETC. ALL HELP TO GET THE WORD OUT. ALSO, CREATING SPECIFIC EVENTS, SUCH AS ORGANIZED RUNS, BANQUETS, CONCERTS AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES HELP TO RAISE BOTH AWARENESS AND MUCH-NEEDED FUNDS TO CONTINUE THE WORK. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PART OF WHAT WE DO. SIGNIFICANT INITIATIVES FOR EDUCATION INCLUDE THE NASCAR CHARLOTTE MEMORIAL WEEKEND, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONTH OF MAY AS HONOR AND REMEMBER MONTH AND SIGNAGE ON MORE THAN 2000 NATIONWIDE SPARTANNASH TRANSPORT TRUCKS. SINCE THE START OF 2018, WE HAVE ALSO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE NATIONAL AMERICA'S RUN FOR THE FALLEN AND THIRD NEW YORK RUN FOR THE FALLEN EVENTS. PRESENT - WITH EDUCATION COMES AWARENESS AND WITH AWARENESS WE ARE ABLE TO REACH GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES OF THE FALLEN. ONE SIGNIFICANT MISSION OBJECTIVE IS THE PRESENTATION OF ONE PERSONALIZED HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG TO EVERY FAMILY OF A MILITARY FALLEN HERO. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS INTENDED TO PAY TRIBUTE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL MAN OR WOMEN WHO LOST HIS OR HER LIFE FOR AMERICA. SINCE THE WAR ON TERROR BEGAN WE HAVE SUFFERED NEARLY SEVEN THOUSAND MILITARY CASUALTIES, NOT INCLUDING HEALTH-RELATED DEATHS OR ACCIDENTS. THE HONOR AND REMEMBER ORGANIZATION HAS PRESENTED 3116 PERSONALIZED FLAGS SINCE ITS INCEPTION. CURRENTLY, WE ARE RESPONDING TO OUR GROWING REQUEST LIST BY ACCOMPLISHING AN AVERAGE OF ONE PRESENTATION PER DAY. STILL IT IS NOT ENOUGH. SOME FAMILIES WHO HAVE REQUESTED PERSONALIZED FLAGS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN FOUR YEARS AND WE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS WHO DO NOT YET KNOW WE EXIST. OUR MANDATE INCLUDES EVERY GENERATION OF HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES. SINCE THE START OF 2018, 390 PERSONALIZED FLAGS HAVE BEEN MADE TO PRESENT, HOWEVER 419 NEW FLAG REQUESTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, BRINGING THE CURRENT WAITING TOTAL TO ABOUT 800. NEARLY EVERY DAY AT LEAST ONE NEW REQUEST IS RECEIVED. COMFORT - PRESENTING THE PERSONALIZED HONOR AND REMEMBER FLAG IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF A RELATIONSHIP WE SEEK TO BUILD WITH EACH RECIPIENT FAMILY. COMMUNICATING WITH THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ENGAGING THEM IN THE MISSION TO RECOGNIZE OTHER WOUNDED FAMILIES PROMOTES EMOTIONAL HEALING AND BUILDS A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AMONG ALL FAMILIES WHO HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH TO AMERICA. OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE COMFORT HAVE INCLUDED HOSTING HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUAL FAMILIES AT ANNUAL BANQUETS, ORGANIZED RUNNING EVENTS AND PROFESSIONAL SPORTS VENUES, SUCH AS NASCAR, MLB, CONCERTS AND MORE. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR OTHER VIABLE PARTNERSHIPS THAT FOSTER AN ATMOSPHERE OF HEALTHY COMMUNICATION, HEALING AND COMFORT. MAJOR EFFORT THIS YEAR WAS PLACED ON OUR 2018 NATIONAL RUN. THIS SHORT BRIEFING HIGHLIGHTS JUST A SAMPLING OF ALL THAT IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED. WE HAVE HAD AN AMAZING 2018, OUR BEST YEAR SO FAR MAKING TREMENDOUS PROGRESS TOWARD OUR GOALS. THANKS TO THE TIRELESS EFFORTS OF OUR VERY SMALL STAFF, THE DEDICATED VOLUNTEER TEAM MEMBERS OF STATE CHAPTERS AND FAITHFUL SUPPORTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AWARENESS AND EDUCATION CONTINUE TO GROW. IN ORDER FOR THE WORK OF HONOR AND REMEMBER TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND, WE NEED MORE MANPOWER AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES. MORE STATE CHAPTERS ARE VITAL TO OUR FUTURE, AS ARE AMBASSADORS WHO ARE WILLING TO CARRY THE VISION TO THEIR COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY, FLAG SPONSORS ARE IMPORTANT TO ENABLING US TO RECOGNIZE THE TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF FAMILIES YET TO BE REACHED. WE ARE EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE TO INDIVIDUALS AND PARTNERS FOR THE SUPPORT AND BELIEF IN BUILDING THIS LEGACY FOR OUR NATION AND LEAVING THIS PERMANENT GIFT FOR ALL GOLD STAR FAMILIES. THE VISIBILITY AND IMPACT IS BECOMING MORE EVIDENT. WE CAN ONLY CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH PERSISTENCE AND PERSEVERANCE. PLEASE CONSIDER HOW YOU CAN BECOME EVEN MORE ACTIVE IN THE HONOR AND REMEMBER MISSION. THIS YEAR'S AMERICA'S RUN FOR THE FALLEN WAS OUR FIVE-MONTH COMMITMENT TO REACH OUR BROADEST AUDIENCE YET. OUR GOAL WAS TO CREATE A TRIBUTE TRAIL UNLIKE ANYTHING IN OUR NATION BY BRINGING HONOR TO EVERY SINGLE FALLEN SERVICE MEMBER BY NAME SINCE THE USS COLE, OCTOBER 12, 2000 AND AND RECOGNIZING THEIR GOLD STAR FAMILIES. TRAVELING THROUGH 19 STATES OVER 120 DAYS, COVERING NEARLY 6,000 MILES, WE WERE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY TOUCH THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS WITH OUR REMEMBRANCE MESSAGE, NOT ONLY THROUGH THE INDIVIDUAL LIVES OF THE PEOPLE IN EACH COMMUNITY BUT ALSO THE HUNDREDS OF FAMILY MEMBERS WHO TRAVELED THOUSANDS OF MILES TO MEET US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS WE HONORED THEIR HERO. THERE ARE COUNTLESS STORIES AND MEMORIES THAT WERE BUILT ON THIS JOURNEY, OPENING DOZENS OF DOORS WITH POTENTIAL SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING POTENTIAL NEW STATE CHAPTERS AND ADDITIONAL STATE RUNS. WE LEFT AN INCREDIBLE AND WIDESPREAD IMPRESSION OF OUR MISSION IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THOUSANDS. DURING AMERICA'S RUN WE WERE CONTACTED BY AN ORGANIZATION IN UKRAINE WHO WANTED TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RUN FOR THE FALLEN AND FOLLOW SOME OF THE PROGRAMS WE ARE ESTABLISHING TO HONOR FAMILIES. HOSTED BY THE US EMBASSY, I WAS ABLE TO BRING OUR VISION TO A HURTING NATION WHOSE FAMILIES ARE GRIEVING WITH THE SAME INTENSITY AS OUR OWN. WE CLOSED OUT OUR YEAR WITH THE NINTH ANNUAL GOLD STAR FAMILY EVENING. WITH MORE THAN 300 FAMILY MEMBERS IN ATTENDANCE, THIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO ALL FAMILIES OF FALLEN MILITARY REGARDLESS OF GENERATION. IT IS A FIRST CLASS EVENING WITH ENTERTAINMENT, SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATIONS AND IT IS A HIGHLIGHT FOR THE FAMILIES FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY.
