Aberdeen Proving Ground - Survivor Outreach Services

Military families give so much to support our service members. We’d like to give something back to those whose loved ones have given the ultimate sacrifice. TSA is proud to support Gold Star Families by offering FREE TSA PreCheck enrollments and renewals.

Honor our nation's fallen heroes by supporting those they loved. Visit taps.org/donate to give or get involved.

As our country reflects this weekend on those who gave their lives in service, TAPS is here for the families who live with that loss every day. Because behind every name etched in stone is someone whose world was forever changed.

TAPS provides a lifeline of care and connection for those grieving a military or veteran loved one. Your support helps ensure no one has to navigate that grief alone.

Mental and physical fitness is vital to maintain readiness. Invest in you and your family's well-being during the APG Family Wellness Day next week on May 21, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., at the AA Recreation Center.

Members of the local community and the Army team will be onsite to provide resources and activities for the community.

The ILSC Wellness Program will be providing several child-friendly activities:
▪ Camouflage face-painting🖌
▪ Temporary tattoos
▪ Army coloring books🖍
▪ MRE demonstrations
▪ Night-vision goggles 🕶
▪ Soldier PT 🏃‍♂️

We hope you can make it!

Thank you to our Gold Star Mother's for all that they do.

We’re looking for military members and veterans to make a difference in the life of a child grieving the death of a military loved one.

As a TAPS Military Mentor, you’ll be paired one-on-one with a child at our Good Grief Camp, creating special moments filled with laughter, connection, and healing. It’s a heartwarming and unforgettable experience that shows these kids they’re never alone.

Our biggest need is at the National Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp this Memorial Day weekend in Washington, D.C., but we also have events in:
➡️ Buffalo, NY
➡️ Scottsdale, AZ
➡️ San Antonio, TX

Bring your life experience, compassion, and leadership to this incredible mission. Sign up today: TAPS.org/militarymentor

Please join us as we remember and honor our Fallen Service Members on April 5th.
