What are some ways you give your time and put into the community? I'm not looking for ideas. I just would like to see the varying ways Service Members give a little more than is asked to help the community.

I help organize Tough Ruck which is in part a fundraising program for the Military Friends Foundation. MFF provides support to the families of Massachusetts National Guard and Reserve Soldiers who have lost their lives. Of particilar importance to me is the about of support they provide to families of suicide victims.

I am running 565 miles in 28 days as part of a 7 person team to raise awareness for Soldiers transitioning to the civilian world and dealing with suicidal ideation. The fundraiser benefits http://www.gallantfew.org. This is a great organization to help you create a network once you exit the military. The event is called Run Ranger Run and more information can be found at: http://www.runrangerrun.com.
