A new nonprofit with the backing of prominent military veterans, former government officials and the chief of police of a major city is launching today with the aim of coming alongside children who have lost a parent serving in law enforcement or the military.
Healing the Wounds founder and president Jeff M. Epstein explained to WND his desire is to “honor America’s fallen heroes” by providing long-term mentoring and support for their children as well as raising awareness of the need.
He noted that hardly a week passes without tragic news of the loss of another servicemen or law-enforcement officer.
“After the salutes are fired and the folded flags presented, the families are regrettably forgotten,” he said. “Healing the Wounds was chartered with a patriotic and sacred mission – to mentor the forgotten children of our nation’s fallen heroes in law enforcement and the military.
