MarineParents.com, Inc. is a non-profit organization that relies largely on the time and talent of numerous volunteers – answering phone calls and emails, moderating message boards and chat rooms, from holding fund raisers and soliciting donations to managing various components of outreach programs, Marine Parents Volunteers do it all! This organization truly could not and would not function without the generosity and selfless support of the volunteers.

Many Marine Parents Volunteers recently received The President’s Volunteer Service Award. The volunteers - whose names are listed below - received this recognition from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, in conjunction with the Corporation for National & Community Service and the USA Freedom Corps. As stated by the President’s Council:

“This Award recognizes your dedication to volunteer service and signifies that you have served your community and your country with distinction. Through your volunteer efforts, you are demonstrating values that make our nation strong and you are helping to build a culture of citizenship, service and responsibility in America.
