fallen heroes. Over Memorial Day Weekend we will be holding our 19th Annual TAPS

and recent veterans who volunteer to provide one-on-one mentoring to the children of
our deceased service members. We are expecting approximately 500 children to visit
the DC area to learn coping skills and support systems. You can help by volunteering
your time over Memorial Day Weekend to this very special cause.
Mentors’ Role: Each Mentor will be matched with a child who has lost a loved one
while serving in the military. The children range from 4 to 19 years old and each age
group will be led by an experienced and trained grief facilitator. As a TAPS military
mentor, you will serve as a “big brother/sister” to these children, to remind them that
they are not forgotten and still very much a part of the military family.

transportation will be provided.
