USMC (United States Military Combined) Families, LLC was officially formed in September, 2007 by Terry and Joyce Crowder and Steve and Amy Miller…two sets of very proud Marine parents.  They had a vision to support military members and their families regardless of their chosen branch of service.  In the few months since we’ve started on this new journey, our group has grown to include representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines! 

 USMC Families, LLC holds monthly support group meetings where we can share our anxieties of upcoming or current deployments or our joys of homecomings. We can cry if we need to and, quite often, we’re not crying alone.  Being military families, we share something special.  We somehow find the right words to comfort someone….or know when words aren’t necessary at all.  The friendships and family we have built are forever. 

Our signature event, the Support Our Troops Family Day, is held annually and is a day dedicated to our troops (past and present) and their families to say “Thank You” for a job well done.  Our event and organization are not politically motivated.  Your opinions on the war are of no concern to us.  We just believe that showing support for our military is the right thing to do.  Our tag line is “More Than A Magnet’.  It is easy to put a magnet on your car that says “Support Our Troops”…..how many of us really DO more than that?  We at USMC Families, LLC truly do more.  There is no greater feeling than to welcome home a Soldier or Marine at the airport or shake the hand of a Veteran and tell them “Thank You”. 

We will lead by example and when the time comes for others in our group to face the deployment of a loved one, we will be there for them and walk with them every step of the way.
