If you want to show support to the Families of the Fallen, there is a dinner on May 17th to honor and support surviving family members, hosted by the all-volunteer Salute Our Military Community Committee. This year there will be approximately 200 family members in attendance, and additional funds are still needed to cover the cost of the dinner.
You can send a donation to The Midlands Community Foundation, 945 N. Adams Street, Suite 7, Papillion, NE, 68046-3111. You can also donate online at www.MidlandsCommunity.org.
Another way to show support is to be present at the Holiday Inn Express, located at 1420 Cuming Street, at 6:00 p.m. to line up with Boy Scouts, American Freedom Riders and other members of the community and let the Families of the Fallen their loved one is not forgotten.
