Provided by Military Hearts Matter

​On Sunday, February 4, our Third Annual Wreath Laying Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery honored two phenomenal women veterans who are heart survivors. This year’s honorees were Kelsey Danner, a Navy veteran and Tosombra “Tai” Kimes, an Army veteran. Through the generosity of our donors Mr. and Mrs. Travis Carter, Jennifer Hernandez Real Estate, Trish Alegre-Smith Photography, Mr. and Mrs. Todd Mains and the sponsors, Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC), GEICO Military, and Blue Shield Blue Cross FEP Dental and Blue Cross Blue Shield FEP Vision. Following the wreath laying, we celebrated with a reception hosted by Military Hearts Matter at the Military Women's Memorial. Thank you to all those who attended this special event and to our donors that made it possible.

​“Military Hearts Matter is a great organization focused on military personnel and families dealing with heart-related issues. Life in the military is high-stress! You would be surprised how many military members and veterans suffer from heart health issues as a result of their service,” said Anthony Hernandez, DCUC president/CEO. “However, it is not talked about much. So, DCUC is proud to support Military Hearts Matter in serving the military and veteran community with information and support for all families.”
