Operation H.E.E.L. began as a mission to support our military children. They chose to face extraordinary challenges both at home and at school with positivity and perseverance, knowing that their military family member serves or has served to secure our country's freedom.
It is through the resilience of military children that our mission be shared with all children as they overcome their own challenges. |
