Lt. General Frank Kearney: Becoming beacons of hope for the nation's warriors

While he has long since left the battlefields, Lt. General Frank Kearney still remembers how difficult it is to be a soldier. While the work is noble and filled with purpose, it cannot be denied that the risks soldiers face each day and the separation from their loved ones can be hard to bear alone. These are just some of the reasons why it is important for the people back at the homeland to take some time to show their support in any way they can.

Soldiers risk their lives and face difficult tasks for more than just their families. They do it for the whole nation and this is why veterans like Lt. General Frank Kearney hope that more people would sign up for or donate to organizations that support the soldiers in deployment and those who are coming home.

There are many ways to help out and it is easy to find an organization that resonates with a person’s desire to help. General Kearney himself is a part of some organizations such as the Team Read White and Blue, which is for the rehabilitation of veterans, and he actively supports the Wounded Warrior Project, which aids injured soldiers and encourages them throughout their recovery process.

In supporting the nation’s troops, honoring them through stickers and t-shirts is not enough. What these brave souls need is to know that they have a whole nation back at home waiting for them and are willing to lend them a hand if and when they need it.
