Remembering Our Heroes is geared to remember and honor all of our heroes from 9/11, and for those who served/or are presently serving in the military. We hope that we can teach future generations the significance of this day when our world as we know it changed forever.

Joining us for this special day will be Marines and Guardsmen from Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, NY and soldiers from West Point Military Academy, along with those from our local fire and police departments and emergency response personnel.

Whether you run or walk as a family or a team – pledges and sponsorships are welcomed as finances raised will be utilized by Semper Fi Parents in supporting the military families and services located in this region and in the needs of our military abroad.

The race will end at the VFW Post 170 where food, vendors and static displays can be viewed. We hope that you, your family and friends will join us in the remembrance of this day.

Funds raised are used to support the families and services of our military here in the Hudson Valley and abroad.

Save the Dates: December 10-11, 2010
Washington, DC Bus Trip

December 2009 found 40 parents on our first bus trip to Washington D.C. where we visited the Marine Museum. The following day we joined "Wreaths Across America" to help lay 16, 000 wreaths for our fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery. We then traveled to Walter Reed Hospital and met some of our wounded heroes.

We welcome you to come join us for our 2010 trip. It will be one to remember.

Out of respect, pictures of the wounded are not displayed.

Operation Santa 2009

We would like to thank many in the Hudson Valley for helping make our Operation Santa 2009 an overwhelming success. With over 350 boxes packed and shipped overseas we were able to get care packages to many for the holiday season.

Helmet liners/scarves:
Many residents have joined to fill the need for helmet liners/scarves due to the rugged and harsh winter months in Afghanistan and for that we thank you for sharing your talents. If you are interested in knitting or crocheting items for the troops, please see the instructions on the Activities page.

Please remember our troops need our support on an ongoing basis, not just for the holidays. Donations/care packages are sent throughout the year.


Semper Fi Parents of the Hudson Valley, a 501c(3) organization and recognized New York State charity, owes its origin to the desire of a handful of local parents to gather, share information and support each other after their Marine recruit left home for boot camp. Since then our membership has grown across the Hudson Valley, including (parents of) those serving in the Army, Navy and Air Force and covers all aspects of the military service.

Our focused goal is to support those who are in the military, both deployed and stateside. We engage with the community to raise funds to offset the cost of shipping packages to our troops, educate parents by hosting informational session and offer education scholarships in the memory of our Fallen Heroes to help those how are recently discharged from the service.

Our children who protect and honor our country are a special breed of people. The work of Semper Fi Parents enables us to feel useful and productive while our children face the hardest battles of all. It is with a most gracious heart that we express a profound gratitude for your love, support and generosity.

We hope the information we provide here will prove useful. Please check back often.

Thank you.
