Mission Statement
Carry the Flame Across America provides
financial and educational support for military families and the children of
American Armed Forces personnel both veteran and active duty that may be or have
been affected by deployment, disability or loss while serving on our orders.
Carry the Flame has no political agenda or affiliation.
History
-
Carry the Flame began in 2002
when King Cavalier II took the first ceremonial torch, borrowed from the
Special Olympics to the Rolling Thunder Candlelight Vigil on Memorial
weekend in Washington, DC. The Flame was lit and carried by representatives
of the American Gold Star Mothers, American Gold Star Wives, and the Blue
Star Mothers of America and continues to this day.
-
Now
known as Carry the Flame Across America, in 2009 the tour was joined by
Marine SSGT Tim Chambers who honored the fallen from Iraq, Afghanistan and
the War on Terror at salute alongside the Carry the Flame Across America
Torch Detail and representatives of the Blue Star Mothers of America, Tulsa
Chapter at 15 stops including the final ceremony at the World War II
Memorial.
Organization Profile
Carry The Flame, Inc. is a 501.c.(3), tax deductible, not-for-profit corporation that
is dedicated to the honor and memory of Veterans; those currently serving in the
armed forces of the United States of America and their families.
Why is financial and educational support for military families and the
children of American Armed Forces personnel needed?
- Over 1,000,000 kids have now been affected by the
deployment, disability or loss of one or both parents serving on our orders
in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003.
- When someone puts on an American military uniform,
the entire family becomes involved. We recognize that military service
involves the entire extended family of the person wearing the uniform.
Children in military families are uniquely affected by the frequent
deployments, periodic relocations, other aspects of military service,
critical injury of a family member, the accelerating divorce rate, or
especially by the death of a family member. Everyone understands that when a
member of the U. S. military dies, the entire military family grieves and
that juvenile family members grieve in unique ways that should receive
special attention. Timely assistance may make all the difference in the
young person.
- As it is, children are already grappling with
emotional pain and hardships at very early ages. Thousands of children
today face complex life issues that often stem from fractured, dysfunctional
family structures and a fast-moving, technological society. Unresolved
problems or disorders can impede a child's development or trigger emotional
states that cause trauma for the child, the parents, and the family. The
effects may be long lasting.
