During the government shutdown, Help Soldiers, Inc. sponsored "Coast Guard Appreciation Day"  together with American Legion Post 28 in Key West on February 2, 2019.  The goal was to provide some fun, food and entertainment during the stressful times of dealing without a paycheck.  It was a great day and very much appreciated by all the coast guard members and their family who were able to attend.  Click below for photos and event flier.

                                              Our Mission


To provide an all-expense paid vacation for military parents that have lost a child.  No program can replace a lost child.  When parents lose a child, it's only natural to question the purpose of soldiering on.  It baffles the mind of the Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Airman to survive overseas deployment, dangerous training, and combat operations just to suffer loss at home.  How can one sacrifice to protect their country but be powerless to stop the death of the ones they love most?

We don't presume to have all the answers.  But we see that these servicemen and women who have borne so much, aren't done yet.  They are still depended upon.  Some have to go back to their units.  Many have children and other loved ones relying upon them to be strong in the face of the unanswerable. 

So, we give them what we can.  At Operation Key West, we give them an opportunity to build new memories.  For these couples, Operation Key West provides a respite, a time and place of peace.  Removed from home, apart from the busyness and burdens of daily living, couples have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and be restored.
