As of 2008, there are over 1.4 million people serving on active duty in our United States Armed Forces, with another 1.4 million people assigned to the seven reserve components. The latest census information shows there are more than 26 million veterans in the United States.  Almost all of these military members and veterans have family members, bringing the total military community to over 50 million individuals. The men and women who make up our military are the finest volunteers in the world, serving daily to support not only our nation, but other countries as well. In addition, their family members serve along with them. The ASMBA STAR Foundation was established to help meet the rapidly growing needs - financial, physical, emotional, and psychological - of these military members and their families and to provide support and assistance in all of those areas where their needs are not being met. The needs of the military are great, and growing daily.   It is through the generosity of individuals like you that we are able to achieve our goals and meet those needs head on. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a difference in the lives of our service members.

Assist - There is no one area of our military more in need of assistance than that of our wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.  In 2005, the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs predicted a $2.6 billion shortfall for meeting the growing healthcare needs of our veterans.  Providing assistance to wounded members of the U.S. Armed Forces during their physical and mental recovery so they may lead a full and active life is one of the most important things we can do as a nation and as a foundation.
