Military Relief Societies
Personnel and their families often suffer severe personal and financial
hardships during crises such as the current Iraq war. The current
deployment of significant forces to the Middle East has increased
the need for assistance as family financial situations deteriorate
due to increased expenses from separation and other family adjustments.
