As you read this, thousands of America's military men and women are fighting our nation's enemies in ancient towns and on primitive landscapes on the other side of the world. Braving devastating roadside bombs, ambushes and suicide attacks, they look to complete the mission at hand—to rid this world of terror and oppression in freedom's name, and to stand up for those who can't fight for themselves. Every day in Iraq and Afghanistan, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are critically wounded or killed in support of this noble cause.

And every day, another American family receives the news that no one ever wants to hear.

On Behalf of a Grateful Nation, Inc., was founded by four veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom as a way for the American people to support those veterans whose lives have been forever changed by a combat injury, as well as the families who are coping with the loss of a loved one killed in combat. Our primary focus at On Behalf is to provide an emergency pool of funds for these military families. Your donation will help alleviate some of the financial burdens that come with a severe wartime injury or a fallen service member.

We also offer a unique way to give something back to these gracious Americans who've sacrificed so much for us—consider contributing the gift of a discounted or complimentary product or service, or an item of value that might be of benefit to our military families, to our Grateful Nation Network. The Network looks to collect items and services from across the nation, and then match them with our wounded heroes and the families of the fallen.

Feel free to visit our Financial Donation page to make a contribution. Or, if you'd like to give something a little more personal, like an item, product or personal service, visit our Grateful Nation Network page to fill out our brief Contribution Form. We'll take care of the rest. If you'd like to nominate a military service member or family for a gift from the Grateful Nation Network, then visit the Grateful Nation Network page and complete a brief nomination form. You may remain anonymous if you wish. On Behalf, Inc. will begin accepting applications for cash grants in September of 2006.
