Holiday Resources for Military Families: The holidays can be a tough time of year for those in the SMVF community. It is imperative that we check in on them and offer support to help them throughout the holiday season and beyond. During the month of December we celebrate the holidays, honor those who are no longer with us, and use this time to celebrate family near and far.
