For many, Memorial Day conjures images of family cookouts, rising gas prices, blowout sales on everything from cars to computers, and the unofficial start to the summer season.
It’s a lot more than that, of course.
Originally known as Decoration Day and designed to commemorate both the Union and Confederate soldiers killed during the Civil War, over the years, the observance has grown to honor all American soldiers killed while serving—some 1.2 million individuals dating back to the Revolutionary War—and was eventually renamed “Memorial Day.” It became a Federal holiday in 1971.
How Do You Celebrate Memorial Day?
Innovation Award for Military Children
On March 21, Operation Homefront and Booz Allen announced that Elizabeth O’Brien of Aberdeen, North Carolina is the first-ever winner of Booz Allen’s Innovation Award for Military Children.
The award recognizes the creative spirit of military children who make outstanding contributions every day that may go unnoticed because of their transient lifestyle. Booz Allen and Operation Homefront’s goal with this award is to acknowledge military children who demonstrate the power of innovative thinking by catalyzing a local, regional, or global change that will positively influence the lives of other military children through new technologies, non-profits, or community service.
In partnership with Military Missions in Action (MMIA) O’Brien, 17, designed the Military Child Access Assistance Program (MCAAP) to help provide accessibility ramps and other home modifications to military children’s homes that are not covered by Tricare. She also developed the Hike2Help 5K that raised over $7,000 and funded three accessibility ramps. Elizabeth’s family has experienced five Permanent Changes of Station and a total of 34 months of deployment. Through all of this, she has logged 1,500 volunteer hours with MMIA since age 12.
In addition to a $10,000 cash award, O’Brien will visit Booz Allen’s Innovation Center where she will collaborate with our consultants to develop a project plan and receive strategic advice to help her advance MCAAP.
The Booz Allen Innovation Award for Military Children will be presented at the Operation Homefront Military Child of the Year Awards Gala on April 14th in Washington, DC. For more information on Operation Homefront and the Military Child of the Year, visit here.
Congratulations Elizabeth!

Four Charities Better Than Wounded Warriors (That Actually Help Veterans)
When it comes to our veterans, we want nothing but the best for them upon returning home from service. It’s why the Veteran’s Affairs scandal is such a big deal, no solider should be left waiting for care. But sometimes the organizations that we think have veterans best interests in mind, are actually using donations for their own personal gain. In a new investigative report from CBS, Steven…
