So soon we forget, but...

On October 9, 2013, The Fisher House Foundation stepped in to aid the Defense Department so families of fallen service members can receive the full set of benefits they have been promised.

The Fisher House Foundation and DOD entered an agreement that includes the $100,000 death gratuity payment.

The Fisher House Foundation is best known for the houses built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers nationwide and in Europe. Families of wounded or hospitalized service members stay at the houses as their loved ones undergo hospitalization for a combat injury, illness or disease.

They recently finished a Fisher House on Fort Belvoir. I've had the esteemed pleasure of knowing some of the families who have stayed in it since it opened.

Definitely a charity worth supporting.
