Annette honors her husband’s service
Annette feels a deep sense of pride that her husband, James, served in the Marine Corps from 1952-1987.
For over 35 years, she stood by his side as they moved from Hawaii to California, North Carolina, Virginia, and Vietnam.
Annette was proud to be his wife, and steadfastly supported him while raising their two sons.
Honor their service and sacrifice
Become a champion for other Marine Veterans and their families, like Roy, a Vietnam Veteran who wants to visit a National Park before he loses his eyesight to a degenerative eye disease.
Your gift will not only help with this campaign, but it will also help in many other ways. We work with older adults from every walk of life, and your kindness makes it possible for us to help each one.
Semper Fidelis; Always Faithful
The Marine motto rings true to Annette and her family. Annette’s wish was to visit the National Museum of the Marine Corps and walk through Semper Fidelis Memorial Park.
For the first time since he passed, Annette saw James’ engraved brick, one of 30,000 of his brothers memorialized in the park.
“The sun was shining down through the trees right on the brick… I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life.”
— Annette, age 84
