SOWW Thankful ~ Happy Thanksgiving 2016!


Today is our 
National Day of Thanksgiving.

But at Serve Our Willing WarriorsEVERY day is a day of Thanksgiving.

(In fact, our middle name could be Thanksgiving!)

Our organization was founded on the principle of "giving thanks". 
It is our mission to give our thanks to the Men and Women who safeguard our nation through their service and sacrifice in the United States Armed Forces.

They will always top our  "Things To Be Grateful For" list.

Founders John & Shirley Dominick with some of our awesome "Willing Warriors"!

But as we set out to "give back" to our Willing Warriors + Their Families, we found so(ww) many other things to be thankful for . . .

Take a peek at some of the people and events that have become a part of the "We're SOWW Thankful" story this year.
