Foundation Mission
To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected
To honor and give back to the lives of veterans like Pard, the Pard Foundation was founded to help returning veterans reintegrate into civilian life.
This involves two key goals:
- To train veterans to help veterans, offering those who return from war skills, training, and funds to research areas that impact veterans' return to civilian life, and
- To fund programs that assist veterans' reentry into their roles as providers and parents.
The Pard Foundation seeks to give new purpose to those whose former purpose in life was the defense of American freedoms, freedoms that the psychological impact of war make that much harder to enjoy.
Military Service
Memories Need Preserving--
Frequently, I am asked to help friends and family do the research to find out details of the military training, service locations, or units someone they care about was a part of. I remember the first time I read through my dad's military record. It was amazing---and baffling. Fortunately, I knew a retired Senior Military Officer who walked me through the details of what each box on the form meant. Just knowing meant so very much---never underestimate how much we, your family want to know!
Families want to know the details of their service member's time spent serving our country---be it a father, uncle, son, cousin, or neighbor down the street. What was it like the day you reported for your first change of station? Who comes to mind when you remember those long training sessions?
The answers to these questions and so many more---capturing your service experiences is why we developed this new set of journals. Guided Journals, Open Journals, and Reflective Journals—to help you capture those moments you want to share with people who love you.
