Today America honors our military service members and veterans for Veterans Day. Fathers and Families honors our military and veteran parents every day, in a very different way–by fighting to protect the loving bonds they share with their children.
Fathers and Families’ Legislative Victories for Servicemembers, Veterans
In the past 18 months alone Fathers and Families has been instrumental in passing eight bills in six states to help servicemembers and veterans. They are: Arizona HB 2348 and SB 1283; California AB 2416 and SB 285; Georgia SB 112; Indiana HB 1165; Nevada AB 313; and Ohio HB 121; and we’re working on more for 2012.
Beginning in 2005 with the passage of our SB 1082 in California, 44 states have passed military parent legislation–to see a chart of all legislation and state by state status, click here.
Honor Our Military and Veteran Parents with Your Gift
Give now so Fathers and Families may continue to defend military parents. Child custody and family court issues should be the last thing a servicemember should need to think about when they are deployed. www.fathersandfamilies.org/give
Contribute to protect military parents and their children in all 50 states.
Together with you in the love of our children,
