Supporting Our  Military Families This Holiday Season  

As we gather with our families and friends  during the holiday season, let us 
remember the  sacrifices by the brave men and women serving  our nation 
overseas. By giving up their time to  defend our freedom and bring freedom to 
others,  many of the more than 190,000 soldiers serving  our nation abroad have 
also given up their  ability to be the main provider for their  family. In no 
time of the year is their absence  felt greater than during the holiday season.  

In the spirit of the holiday season – a  time for generosity and goodwill 
toward others –  consider the financial and emotional strain  lengthy deployments 
can have on America’s  military families. During their time of need,  please 
consider sending a donation to one of the  service organizations listed below –
 or a  military support organization of your choosing –  serving our service 
men and women, their  families and our wounded veterans. 

These  organizations help to ease the financial  distress of the holiday 
season for military men  and women and their families. They do this by  providing 
interest-free loans and grants for  emergency needs such as food, rent and  
utilities. They also provide assistance in the  form of grants and no-interest 
loans for  educational purposes. 

Military families  already suffer the stress of having a loved one  deployed 
overseas. During this time of year,  there is perhaps no better way to honor 
the  families of our bravest Americans than by  donating to a military service 
organization.  
Sincerely,



Senator Mel  Martinez

Casework  Corner 

*Mr. Dyson served in the military  during the Cold War. He contacted the  
Office of Senator Martinez for assistance in  requesting a medal from the U.S. 
Government for  his service. 

A caseworker contacted the  Army’s Human Resources Command and learned that  
a medal for Cold War Service has not been  officially approved, but an 
official certificate  of service is available. The caseworker  submitted Mr. Dyson's 
paperwork to the Army,  proving his Cold War Service. As a result, Mr.  Dyson 
recently learned he would receive a  Government-issued Cold War Recognition  
Certificate for his service. 

If you have  questions about a federal agency, please contact  the Orlando 
Regional Office by calling (407)  254-2573 to speak with a member of the 
Casework  Department. The toll-free number for Florida  residents is (866) 630-7106.
