This Veteran’s Day, our military support employee resource group, Valor, is committed to making a difference by supporting the families of our fallen service members. Through our ERGs and the CRI ID mission, we can ensure that #CRIremembersValor by honoring those who protect and serve our great nation.

Valor has chosen to support these families by raising funds for Honoring Our Fallen, an organization that provides direct support to families immediately following the Next of Kin (NOK) notification and works to connect them with additional support services.

What Honoring Our Fallen Offers:

Hero Missions – Bridges the gap between the military, funeral homes, communities, and families directly after a NOK notification. This includes providing vehicles so more family members and friends can be present when their service member returns home, as well as coordinating social, local, and national media coverage (if the family desires). They also connect families with organizations offering counseling, housing assistance, and financial support.
Random Acts of Love – Volunteers surprise families who have lost someone with special packages, reminding them they are remembered and loved.
Honoring Our Fallen Retreats – Six annual retreats designed to help female family members build resilience and strengthen relationships.
A Flag For Every Hero – Thousands of volunteers place flags on gravesites in Riverside National Cemetery.

Every dollar donated goes toward sustaining these programs and ensuring the needs and requests of families are met during one of the most difficult times of their lives.

This campaign is open to all CRI professionals who wish to contribute. You are also encouraged to invite friends, family, and business associates to make contributions. Use the share buttons above to easily spread the word on your social media pages.

Because everyone loves a good competition, donations will be aligned with our regional structure.

After working in Southern California to support the families of fallen heroes, Laura Herzog recognized that Casualty Assistance Officers (Army) and Casualty Assistance Calls Officers (Marines) often have overwhelming responsibilities when a hero is returned home. Although these officers want to do more for families, their official duties limit how much personal support they can provide. Laura stepped in to bridge this gap through Honoring Our Fallen. Each year, the organization supports approximately 150–200 casualty missions for active-duty military, hosts six surviving family member retreats and reaches thousands of families annually through its Random Acts of Love program.
