Merry Christmas from a Navy SEAL Mom

Visit the America's Mighty Warriors Website

As we approach the end of 2015 we wanted to make sure we said thank you to each one of our supporters who donated this past year so that America's Mighty Warriors could continue to fulfill our mission to support our troops and the families of our fallen heroes.

Your continued faithful support has made a difference in thousands of the lives of our families of our fallen and our troops. We couldn't do this without you and are forever grateful!!!!

As you celebrate Christmas and bring in the New Year please remember our Gold Star families and families of our deployed troops who have an empty chair at their family dinners and celebrations.

Pray for safety for our warriors deployed who are defending us against the radical terrorists and for comfort for those whose families have been separated either from deployment or death.

There is a costly price paid for our freedoms and we must NEVER forget who pays that cost.

I just listened to the Christmas Carol "Mary Did You Know" It starts out.....
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
I can relate as a mother. Mary was the Mother of a Savior, Our Savior, the Savior of the world. I was the mother of a hero who saved the lives of his teammates, and defended our freedoms.

I had no idea when God gifted me with three children under difficult circumstances what they would become or how God would use their lives. I had no clue when I held Marc as a little baby that he would impact the world in the way he has.

I am so thankful for the gift of my children, grandchildren and ever growing "adopted family." Each one is impacting the world in their own special way.

I hope that everyday our lives would be lived worthy, first and foremost, of the sacrifice Christ made for us and then for those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms.

As you prepare for your year end giving we need your help to be able to meet the increasing needs for our troops and our families of our fallen. We would be honored if you would join with us and accept the challenge Marc ended his amazing last letter home with.

"To my family and friends do me a favor, pass on the kindness, the love, the precious gift of human life."

Everyone can give at least $1.00 each month and many of you can do more." You can sign up for a monthly recurring donation or give a one time gift. Ninety Five percent of what you give to AMW goes to support our troops and the families of our fallen with only 5% going to admin costs.

May God continue to bless you and provide comfort and joy!

Marc Alan Lee, was the first Navy SEAL killed in Iraq (Aug 2, 2006) heroically standing out in the direct line of fire 3 different times that day to defend his teammates.

In response to her son's last letter home Debbie founded AMW to honor the sacrifices of our troops, the fallen and their families with programs that improve quality of life, resiliency, healing, and recovery. At AMW we do know who pays the price for our freedoms!

We help thousands through advocacy, education, support, retreats, treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury, Heroes Hope Home, and random acts of kindness.
