The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in early 2005 to assist our injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. Our mission began when the father of an injured Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.

In little over three years contributions made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided the following for injured service members and their families: over 700 free rental cars spanning more than 35,000 days; over 9,000 free taxi rides; over 2,800 free hotel room nights; 38 families have used our five apartments for almost 3,000 nights; hundreds of free tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts, fishing trips, and other activities.
