FROM A BAND OF BROTHERS TO SERVINGTOGETHER IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL

Ann Mazur, CEO of EveryMind reflects on the meaning of Memorial Day: When my dad’s carrier was hit by Kamikazes, they kept fighting. When his Torpedo bomber was shot to pieces and half the tail was gone, they kept flying. When the war was over, like millions of others, they came home, went to work and raised families. So on this national holiday, while we honor his legacy and the Band of Brothers who have protected us for 240 years - my colleagues and partners at over 70 local human services agencies and nonprofits, will introduce a network of coordinated services and care for veterans, service members and their families. This Memorial Day, the National Capital Region will become the newest member of the nationally-recognized AmericaServes movement, aiming to transform the means by which we care for all those who have served our nation.
