for school-aged children of deployed and severely injured 

Reserve and National Guard military personnel; 

Whereas the Government makes significant resources available to children of active duty military personnel at military installations, but these resources are often inaccessible for children of deployed and severely injured Reserve and National Guard personnel; 

Whereas having a severely disabled parent in the home or losing the daily presence of a parent in the home is a huge 

stress to children; 

Whereas since April 2005, Our Military Kids, Inc., has 

worked to make sure that children of military families get 

the support they urgently need while coping with the deployment of parents by awarding grants to over 1,100 

school-aged children of deployed and severely injured National Guard and Reserve personnel in 49 states and the 

District of Columbia; 

Whereas these grants help the children maintain as normal 

a lifestyle as possible by allowing the funds to be used 

for fees associated with tutoring, athletic, and fine arts 

programs intended to ensure access to a range of activities that might otherwise be unavailable to them; 

Whereas Executive Directors and Founders of Our Military 

Kids, Inc., Linda Davidson and Gail Kruzel, began the 

program with the sole intention of providing needed assistance to military children of Guard and Reserve personnel; and 

Whereas Our Military Kids, Inc., depends on the generous 

support of many corporate and individual sponsors, as 

well as numerous volunteers, to award grants to these deserving children: Now, therefore, be it
