those who have bravely served our country. Through their tireless 
efforts and unwavering commitment, they have made an indelible mark on 
the lives of countless individuals, empowering them to navigate the 
challenges they face and to recover, transition, and thrive with 
independence and grace.
  Their comprehensive programs and services, including the Service 
Member and Family Support, Integrative Wellness, and Transition

veterans and their families, offering them hope, healing, and renewed 
purpose.
  I am deeply grateful for the invaluable contributions Semper Fi & 
America's Fund has made to our communities and our country. Their 
selfless commitment to our service members, veterans, and military 
families embodies the very essence of patriotism and compassion, and it 
serves as an example for us all.
  I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Semper Fi & America's Fund,

milestone. May they continue to inspire hope, foster healing, and honor 
the sacrifices of our veterans for years to come.
