Hello, country music fans!

Help us celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s military. Honor those who serve and the families who stand beside them.

Every action, big or small, matters.

Call to Action

Military families serve, too — and they face unique challenges every day. From food and financial insecurity to limited career opportunities for spouses and the ongoing demands on caregivers, these families bear a heavy burden in service to our nation.

 

They need our support year-round, but with meaningful moments ahead — Armed Forces Day, Memorial Day, the Army’s 250th birthday, and more — now is the perfect time to give back and Do Your Part.

 

Do Your Part is a Blue Star Families initiative inviting Americans to stand with our military community. Whether by raising awareness, donating to support solutions, or volunteering your time — everyone has a role to play. 

Support military families in your neighborhood through small, thoughtful actions: drop off a meal, bring up their trash cans, offer to babysit, cut the grass, or invite them to your BBQ. These simple gestures go a long way in helping military families feel seen, supported, and connected. Check out a full list of ideas here.
