The 555 Able Soldier and Family Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by military families and retired military members. The fund’s purpose is to provide goods and services for the families of soldiers killed in action, the soldiers wounded in action and their families as they recover in hospitals and the deployed soldiers and their families.
This fund was created to provide financial support for the soldiers and families of the 555th Engineer Brigade – (the Triple Nickel) during deployment to Iraq, Afghanistan and other combat zones. The “Able” part in the fund’s name refers to the 555’s radio call sign based on their motto, “Willing and Able”.
Honor and Heal
When a soldier falls serving our country, we all suffer the loss. The military honors every fallen hero with a military funeral, however, there are inevitable costs that go beyond the scope of what the government can provide.
The 555 Able Soldier and Family Fund is a civilian-supported, non-profit fund existing to assist soldiers and their families in need due to losses occurred in combat zones as well as those needs that arise as families prepare for and return from these long separations.
