Derrick and I strongly believe that it is our collective responsibility as individuals, organizations and corporations to support you. In fact, it is our nation’s solemn obligation to do whatever we can to help support you and your families.
Every day you rise to face another day with pride and service to stand in defense of the “American Way of Life” and fundamentally our freedom as a nation. Our gratitude does not give pay sufficient homage to the hardship and sacrifice that you and your families have endured.

Growing up in a military household, I understand the importance of family to a soldier’s well-being, stability and ability to serve and protect. Your strength of service is demonstrated through your personal sacrifices of time away from your families, uncertainty around deployment, lack of job security for your spouse, transitioning of schools for your children and of course the ultimate sacrifice. You proudly carry this burden so that Americans can live and work in a safe, free and just society.
Yellow Ribbons United was established for you, we want to hear your voices, tell your stories and celebrate you and your service to America.
Again, we cannot thank you enough for your service, dedication, sacrifice and perseverance. We support you. We honor you. We salute you.
With deepest gratitude,
-Derrick and Emma Dockery
