Navy SEAL Foundation
There are currently a lot of families who will be needing support in the upcoming weeks, months and years. The Navy SEAL Foundation is an organization who looks after familys and wounded warriors. The Navy SEAL Foundation and NSW Foundation have recently combined forces to raise money to support the cause. The NSW Foundation is run mostly by retired SEALs and families.
Navy SEAL Foundation's Mission:
"Our mission was not created by war, but it has been made more important and more difficult as a result of it.
Established to serve U.S. Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen, Naval Special Warfare (NSW) support personnel, and their families, the Navy SEAL Foundation offers critical support to Naval Special Warfare commands, active-duty personnel, their families, and veterans of NSW. As the duration and frequency of training and operational deployments continue, and the stress on the families and operators grows, this important community requires support today more than ever."
"The Navy SEAL Foundation is integral in providing support to NSW families so that our active duty operators can focus on their training and deployment with a greater sense of ease knowing that their loved ones have a dedicated and caring support network behind them. In event of the ultimate sacrifice, the Navy SEAL Foundation quickly turns its primary attention towards helping the families of the fallen or wounded SEAL, SWCC, or other operator. With mutual support, bereavement resources, and reception events, our goal is to assist in rebuilding lives."
I know there are people out there who would like to help, I figured this would be a way help get the ball rolling.

The way I see it, your friend and those with him gave everything for all of us. I am happy to contribute and help support them, even after they are gone.
I am actually surprised that this thread hasn't gotten more attention. I hope everyone is just being silent about their support.

Another event that is going on Nation wide to honor the Fallen from the Helo crash on August 6th http://31heroes.com/
It will be a nation wide crossfit workout of the day. If you are into working out or know someone who is it should be a good time( if you enjoy puking). I havent seen what the workout will be yet, Im sure it will hurt a great deal.

I agree with Curtis. These guys do alot more than we wold ever know and to support them is very easy. Even being in the military and knowing what they go through is easy for me to want to be apart of this.
