Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving critical care.

These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve. Fisher Houses have up to 21 suites, with private bedrooms and baths. Families share a common kitchen, laundry facilities, a warm dining room and an inviting living room. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee. Since inception, the program has saved military and veterans’ families an estimated $235 million in out of pocket costs for lodging and transportation. Over 22,000 families stayed at a Fisher House last year, and that number continues to grow each year as Fisher House Foundation builds new houses at VA and military medical centers with the greatest need.

Fisher House Foundation also operates the Hero Miles program, using donated frequent flyer miles to bring family members to the bedside of injured service members, as well as the Hotels for Heroes program using donated hotel points to allow family members to stay at hotels near medical centers without charge. The Foundation also manages a grant program that supports other military charities and scholarship funds for military children, spouses and children of fallen and disabled veterans.

For more information about the Fisher House Foundation, please visit www.fisherhouse.org.

…because a family’s love is good medicine.

Welcome to the 10th Annual Support Our Heroes Gala! On behalf of Chesapeake Support Our Heroes, Welcome! And thank you for joining us this evening. Our mission is simple: demonstrate our commitment and provide care to our wounded service members and their families by raising funds to support the Fisher House Foundation.

Tonight’s gala is our tenth annual fundraiser and our theme is “A World of Care.” We are taking this opportunity to highlight five of the many areas of the world where Fisher House Foundation provides support to our military and their families.

We have a fun-filled night in store for you! Have your Passport stamped at each of our stations (Texas, Germany, Deep South, Mid-Atlantic, United Kingdom, Heartland, and Western USA), while enjoying food and drinks typical of those area. There are pictures and information about the Fisher House facilities and services provided in each region.

Take the opportunity to participate in tonight’s traditional and silent auctions, enjoy the entertainment and take time to listen to the program.

Any of our committee members will be happy to talk to you about supporting our fundraising efforts for the Fisher House Foundation. There are so many ways to assist -- whether it is a bake sale, a 5K run or a concert in the park. Some of this year’s fundraisers included Olivia’s Lemonade Stand and the local Lion’s Club “Cycling for Heroes.”

I would like to take this moment to mention Diane Carnes and MG Harry Greene. They both steadfastly supported our efforts on behalf of the Fisher House Foundation during the last decade. Diane was one of the “Founding Mothers” of our gala and MG Greene was always there to support us in our efforts. It’s easy to believe they are smiling with us tonight as we come together yet again to support their beloved Fisher House Foundation.

WELCOME

9WELCOME

Thanks again to each and every one of you for joining us tonight and many thanks for supporting our nation’s wounded heroes and their families. I especially want to thank our corporate, military and government supporters as well as our very special volunteers. The effort they put into making this event a success is truly “from the heart.” So to them I extend our most heartfelt thanks.

Enjoy this evening’s festivities!

Diane Carnes passed away peacefully at home on August 14th and both the Monmouth and Aberdeen Proving Ground will miss her. She served as the Treasurer of the Fort Monmouth Chapter of AFCEA (Armed Forces Communications Electronics Association) for 25 years and was the Registrar for the AFCEA Monthly Luncheons at Gibbs Hall as well as Registrar of the Annual C4ISR Symposium and the State of

CECOM annual luncheon. Her numerous citations and awards from AFCEA included AFCEAN of the Year, AFCEAN of the Quarter and the Dandelion Award. She also served on the Board of the AUSA (Association of the United States Army) Fort Monmouth Chapter as Editor of the quarterly newsletter.

Diane was a founding committee member of the Fort Monmouth “Support Our Heroes” Gala, a fund raiser for The Fisher House Foundation, Inc., for which this gala has become part of that tradition, serving as Registrar and event planning.

Diane was awarded the Silver Wahatchee from the Signal Corps Regimental Association for her years of service to the United States Signal Corps. She served on the committee of the annual Field Artillery St. Barbara’s Day Dinner Dance and is a recipient of the Molly Pitcher Award for her countless hours of dedication to the association.

A Disney fan, Diane happily traversed the parks at Walt Disney World on yearly vacations enjoying her favorite rides: Space Mountain, Splash Mountain and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Diane loved her days at the beach as a member of Driftwood Cabana Club (Cabana 224) in Sea Bright, NJ, counting the days to Beach Club Opening. She enjoyed planning the menus for weekend dinners at the Cabana, surrounded by her friends and family.

Diane enjoyed her regular “Jersey Girl” lunches, sadly less and less often as the Fort Monmouth BRAC was implemented and the Jersey Girls relocated and retired.

Diane leaves, her husband Edward L. Carnes, and her children, Phil and his wife Rachel Carnes, Tinton Falls, Susan and her husband Hugh Bremmer, Howell, NJ and Eddie Carnes, Tinton Falls and her adored grandsons, Stevie Bremmer and Seamus Carnes. Diane was lovingly assisted by her family, her friends and the staff of St. Barnabas Hospice.

Everyone will remember Diane’s smile and quick wit, but most of all, her willingness to help and the countless hours of volunteer time to help the community, military and civilian, grow together.

AGENDA

16

This small table …

… honors the many members of our armed forces – our heroes -- who answered the call of duty but were unable to return home. It is deliberately placed before our nation’s colors as a special place of honor.

… symbolizes the presence of their loving spirit; they will never be forgotten.

… is set and reserved for one to honor each of our missing and fallen loved ones.

… is round to represent the everlasting concern for those missing and fallen comrades.

The white tablecloth … symbolizes the purity of our heroes’ intention to respond to their country’s call to arms.

The single red rose … reminds us of the life and love of each hero and the sacrifices that they made for this country.

The yellow ribbon ... tied so prominently on the vase, symbolizes remembrance for the families and loved ones who keep the memories of our brothers and sisters alive.

FALLEN HERO TABLE

17

The solitary candle … stands proud, straight, and tall … just like our comrades and symbolizes the ultimate sacrifice that our fallen comrades and their fami-lies have made to preserve our precious freedom.

The slice of lemon on the plate … reminds us of their bitter fate.

The salt upon the table … symbolizes the tears shed by families as they have endured the sorrow of their loved ones’ fate.

The inverted glass … symbolizes that our heroes are with us in spirit but cannot raise a glass to toast with us tonight.

The chair … leans forward against the table and represents a reserved space for each of our heroes.

Please take a moment this evening to remember these brave men and women who have made “the ultimate sacrifice.”

We also ask that you keep their families and loved ones in mind tonight as we continue our cause to support the Fisher House Foundation’s mission to pro-vide a “home away from home” for military families so that they can be near their loved ones during hospitalizations for illness, disease, or injury.

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,The Board Members of Chesapeake Support Our Heroes The Committee for the 2014 Support our Heroes Gala

LINNEA TOBER Linnea begins her abstracts as a straight nature photograph. She is a colorist at heart and focuses on the hues as they play against one another as she manipulates her photos into stunning abstracts. The fluidness and organic flow come naturally to her eye and it is this element that she enjoys accenting.

CATHERINE VALLE Cathy is an accomplished fiber artist. Her work showcases fantasy inspired American Crafts, and one of a kind designer jewelry.

BILL WATSON Bill’s use of pastels portrays a colorful impressionistic style. His work accentuates the effects of light on the subject. Bill is classically trained in fine art and graphic design. He does commissioned work and can be contacted at www.edesignbywatson.com

JUSTIN WOYTOWITZ Justin is a largely self taught oil painter. The freshness of painting on location and within the time restriction of plein air, gives energy to a piece that cannot be captured in the studio. Justin’s work is characterized by energetic brush strokes giving movement and life to his paintings.


THANK YOU! To Harford County....
