I am a volunteer for an organization called Operation Recognition. We are a non-profit outfit that says thank you to the members of our military and their immediate family for the service and sacrifice they make on our behalf. OpRec puts these families up for a weeks vacation so they can get to know each other again and talk and heal as a family unit. We have been quite successful.
