WASHINGTON, 7 Jul 2004 -- Twin sisters Jackie and Janice know the challenges military families face. Their father served 31 years in the Navy, and as self- described "military brats," they called several places home.
After the tragic events of Sept. 11 and the ensuing war on terror, Jackie Parris said she felt the need to create a Web site that would help spouses and families of deployed troops. She enlisted the help of her sister, Janice Sydnor-Evans, Army Community Service officer for the Beckley Recruiting Battalion in West Virginia ...
Parris said that between her research and her sister's knowledge of what families of deployed troops need, they created Operation Support.
Operation Support is full of links to organizations designed to assist troops and their families. It includes listings for Veterans Affairs hospitals as well as for Tricare, the American Red Cross, and service aid societies ...
Parris said she works on the page often and will keep the site going "as long as we fight terrorism."
