Mission
Our mission is to honor military heroes who have died for their country by generating name recognition, and be a champion for the courageous veterans who survived by generating funds and finding resources to support them as they cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Hello Villagers!

Last night I read a very touching story about a proud mother and her son from 2nd Battlion 8th Marines Golf Company who was deployed to southern Afghanistan last Spring. She made good use of her sleepless hours by sending supplies overseas to her son and his company. Once word got out what she was doing, donations came in, and came in, and came in. A total of 374 large packages over 6 1/2 months were shipped to troops overseas. The local post office dedicated 2 employees each Friday afternoon to process the packages.

It's stories like this which remind me of how villages help other villages. How significant even small gestures of kindness are, to propel a movement.

In this story I read a remarkable quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "Lest I keep my complacent way I must remember somewhere out there a person died for me today. As long as there must be war, I ask and I must answer was I worth dying for?"

Reach out, reach within, but don't stop reaching!

How It All Began

The inspiration to create Village to Village Foundation came when the news of a heroic act performed by SPC Ross A McGinnis United States Army, was first heard in December 2006. He is a young soldier who gave his life by using his body to cover a grenade; thereby saving four of his friends. Ross' unselfish and heroic action inspired founder Galynn Wilkins to create this non-profit organization, to carry Ross' message forward. We are all in this together!

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short;
but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
