 Celebrating 21 Years of Marine Families 

Today, April 22, 2025, we mark a milestone that’s more than just a number—it’s a testament to 21 years of unwavering love, sacrifice, and strength.

Marine Families was born from a simple yet powerful idea: that behind every Marine, there’s a family standing tall, holding it all together. For 21 years, we’ve stood by one another through deployments, homecomings, long nights, and even longer prayers. We’ve celebrated births and graduations, mourned losses, and wrapped each other in comfort when the world felt too heavy.

Over the years, we’ve grown—not just in numbers, but in heart. From a small circle of dedicated families to a nationwide network of support, Marine Families has become more than an organization. We are a home. A safe harbor. A place where stories are shared, tears are met with understanding, and strength is passed from one hand to another.

To every family who has walked this journey with us: thank you. You are the reason we are here. And to every Marine who inspires us every single day: we are proud to serve you.

Here’s to 21 years of courage, community, and connection. And here’s to the many more to come. 

With deep gratitude,
Cyd Deathe
Executive Director, Marine Families
