Brian,
A bit - make that A LOT - biased on this one: Project Sanctuary.  I am proud to work for this terrific organization that serves military families across the U.S.

CSM, Thanks!  We offer these retreats for free for our active duty and veteran population.  There is a dire need for military families to reconnect and deal with all of the issues they face: PTS, TBI, deployment, transition, etc.

Brian,

Veteran Tickets Foundation does a a lot by giving back to our military & veteran 
community. Vet Tix enriches the lives of our Military and Veterans by providing 
reintegration opportunities and family bonding experiences by providing free tickets to 
socially interactive events.  http://www.vettix.org/index.php

I've used VetTix, and it is a great program for our Veterans. Another that I use quite often is the Armed Forces Vacation Club. They provide space-a lodging in various location around the globe for around $370 per 7-day stay. http://www.afvclub.com

This is going to be a great resource for RP users and I hope everyone can get something out of it to help their units, the Soldiers and the families.  The organization that is near to my heart came in handy after a particularly tough deployment it is the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS).  I've spent some time volunteering with them and I can attest to the true meaning of resiliency in some of the kids.  I encourage you to take a look at this worthwhile program, they do a tremendous job for our families of the fallen.
