SOME GAVE ALL
Dear Night Stalker Foundation Friends,
This Memorial Day we want to remember fallen service members and their sacrifices. Please take time to honor those who gave their lives. We are deeply saddened about the recent crash in Alaska and the loss of "three of our best" soldiers. Closer to home, it is with heavy hearts that we grip hands with our 101st Combat Aviation Brigade as we mourn the tragic deaths of nine teammates in the helicopter crash in Kentucky.
These catastrophic accidents are a stark reminder of the risks of Army Aviation crews take every day when they break friction with the ground to conduct both combat and training missions. Please keep the families, friends and comrades in your thoughts and prayers. Please consider making a donation to the Screaming Eagle Aviation Association, a 501c4 charitable organization that supports Soldiers and Families of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade.
Night Stalkers Don't Quit,
Kevin

FAMILY COLLABORATIVE
This year has been busy for the Night Stalker Foundation's family program. We hosted two retreats, in Seattle, Washington and Savannah, Georgia, where couples were given the opportunity to relax and connect while learning strategies to strengthen their marriage.
Our women's virtual networking workshops presented on topics relevant to the quick-paced lifestyle spouses experience to include nutrition, goal setting, stress management, and marketing your business.
Lastly, there were several children-focused events such as the trampoline park, rock climbing event, and a trip to an indoor play place reserved specifically for special needs members within the Night Stalker community. We have so much in store for the upcoming months and look forward to sharing this with you soon!
