Globe: Sept. 11 families reaching out to military families
The Boston Globe, today, published a touching story about the families of September 11th victims and their efforts to comfort the families of fallen soldiers.
The Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund, a private, nonprofit organization, will be funded with part of the revenue raised from the "United We Stand" license plate, as well as private donations, said Coombs, 48, a mother of three from Abington.
The organization, which the families and other concerned citizens set up with help from US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, will assist service members’ families with a variety of issues that arise after their loved ones’ deaths, said Coombs.
It will help them get mental health, legal, and social services; insurance payments; and military benefits, among other things, she said.
