Let's Help Our Wounded Warriors!

MarineParents.com offers Purple Heart Family SupportTM to the families of Marines and other service members who have been injured in Iraq or Afghanistan. Our services to the families of these brave heroes began in 2007 at Bethesda Naval Hospital, outside Washington D.C. In late 2008, through generous donations of time and money, we were able to expand our services to include the Wounded Warriors Barracks at Balboa in San Diego, California.

Purple Heart Family Support Services

We're providing lunches or dinners twice monthly to the wounded warriors and their families. So far, over 3000 meals have been served by us to families at Bethesda and our dinners at Balboa typically serve 100 to over 150 at any one time. As you might imagine, many of the wounded are sons & daughters, husbands & wives and/or moms & dads with severe life altering injuries that will affect not only them but their families as well. Family members are understandably very reluctant to leave their bedsides. Having a meal delivered to them allows them to stay with their Marine, Soldier, Airman or Sailor.

We have a team of volunteers at each location who serve these meals and provide fellowship and encouragement to our wounded military personnel and their families.

Meals are served bedside for those unable to leave their rooms. Those a little further along in recovery have the option of having their meal in their hospital room or in a large room set up so that dinners or lunches can be enjoyed in the company of other wounded warriors and families.

With additional funding and more volunteers, we will be able to provide the same services across the United States.
