Bereavement Support
When we lose one of our own, we don’t just honor their service — we show up for their family. Our Bereavement Support program ensures that no one is forgotten and no family is left alone in their grief.
We respond to loss with care and respect. When notified of a member’s passing, we reach out to the family, send memorial flowers on behalf of the association, and check in during the months that follow.
Because honoring the fallen means being there for the people they loved.
