Well, this is a delight. A new foundation with genuine, heartfelt outreach. Love.

[SharrellAnne @SharrellAnne2]

Before we head off to church this morning, I wanted to give everyone a quick update on where we are with the SSG Alan Shaw Foundation.

First, an amazing patriot has connected us with an attorney who specializes in nonprofit organizations. I’ll be reaching out this week to hopefully get the paperwork process underway and make sure we’re building this the right way from the start.

We’ve also started putting the foundation together behind the scenes and have already locked in a few board members, including a combat veteran and current law enforcement officer who was one of Alan’s childhood friends.

So far, we’ve identified three areas we’d ultimately like the foundation to serve.

The first is Legacy Flights, helping Gold Star families visit the final resting places of their loved ones.

The second is creating a way for patriots living near national cemeteries to connect with Gold Star families and visit their fallen hero’s grave on special days when the family can’t be there themselves.

The third is something our oldest son has talked about for nearly a decade. He’s an avid outdoorsman who loves hunting, fishing, and the outdoors just as much as Alan did. For years he’s dreamed of creating opportunities for Gold Star families, combat veterans, and their loved ones to connect, make memories, and enjoy the outdoors together. That program will be called Section 60 Outdoors.

None of this is going to happen overnight, but the wheels are already turning.

Most importantly, please keep praying for us. Pray for wisdom. Pray for the right people to come alongside us. And pray that God continues opening doors if this is where He wants us to go.🙏

What we’re building is bigger than any one person. It’s a community of patriots who believe service, sacrifice, remembrance, and legacy still matter.

Thank y’all for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life.

We’re going to make it happen together.♥️🇺🇸♥️

Watching the photos pour in all day, each one showing more flowers, more flags, more love and appreciation…this is the best thing about today. What a moving thing to witness this Memorial Day.

[SharrellAnne @SharrellAnne2]

When I made that post yesterday, I truly thought maybe one or two people might stop by if they happened to already be at Arlington this weekend. I never imagined that nearly twenty years later, Alan’s grave would be surrounded by flowers, flags, prayers, and strangers speaking his name on Memorial Day.

Thank you for showing up for him today. Thank you to everybody else who did too.

As a Gold Star family, there’s always this quiet fear that over time people move on and your person slowly fades into history. Y’all reminded me today that Alan is still remembered, still honored, and still matters. I can’t fully put into words what that means to us. 🥹

Georgia Tech is hosting a bone marrow drive today, urging volunteers to come forward in hopes of helping a Roswell family find a life-saving match for their 2 y/o son.

The effort highlights the urgent need for more diverse donors as Judah continues his fight against a rare genetic disorder.

In short, my in-laws are far too kind for this world, and I honestly don’t know how to show them our gratitude.

Bonus: they bought the newspaper from the day my son was born, because they knew that’s what my father had done when I was born.
