Project Background
Each year, hundreds of American families face the tragedy of the death of a loved one serving in the Armed Forces. The families left behind include parents, siblings, spouses and school age children. In many cases, these families must rebuild a life that was once devoted to military service but is now focused on surviving.
The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, Inc. (TAPS), is a non-profit Veteran Service Organization offering hope, healing, comfort and care to thousands of American armed forces families facing the death of a loved one each year.
Through Project Linus: Providing Security through Blankets, the D.C.C.A.R. will provide funds and handmade “Bravery Blankets” to the TAPS organization to comfort those children who have lost a loved one serving in the Armed Forces.
The D.C.C.A.R. is “Honoring the Sacrifice” by remembering those who died for their country AND comforting those who have sacrificed a loved one for our freedom.
