Laura Herzog, the founder and CEO of Honoring Our Fallen, joins us to share her incredible journey from a civilian public affairs officer to leading a nonprofit that supports families of deceased military service members. Despite never having served in the military, Laura found herself deeply moved by the overwhelming challenges faced by grieving families, inspiring her to establish a bridge between military protocols and the needs of these families. Through heart-touching stories, Laura reveals how her organization coordinates hero missions, ensuring dignified ceremonies and ongoing support through initiatives like Flag Forever Hero and retreats for widows and mothers.
We also explore the vital role that community support plays in sustaining the mission of honoringourfallen.org. With an ambitious goal to secure 500 monthly donors, the organization relies on contributions to continue providing crucial services nationwide. One poignant example illustrates the complex coordination required to transport a fallen Marine from California to Indiana, highlighting the dedicated efforts involved in honoring these heroes.
