Gratitude is the antidote to a hurting and lonely heart. At Angie's Place, we're grateful to sit with you and hear your stories, your resilience, your victories, and your struggles. Thank you, vets!

Today, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and heart of our first responders — the men and women who show up on our hardest days with calm, skill, and compassion. Your service and sacrifice protect the well-being of our communities every day.
At Angie’s Place, we’re grateful to walk beside you — helping build emotional resilience, supporting families, and reminding every responder that your wellness matters too. Thank you for all you give, and all you carry.

We’ve been hard at work alongside our community—raising awareness about mental health, honoring the unique experiences of first responders, and helping others see just how deeply emotional wellness shapes our overall health. 💙

As part of this effort, we worked with one of our partners to design and present a First Responder Family Workshop for their agency—created specifically to support the spouses, partners, and loved ones who stand behind those who serve. Together, we’re opening conversations, building understanding, and helping families strengthen their resilience and connection. 🌿

Every step forward reminds us that healing happens best when we walk it together. 💛

Today, I came across something truly inspiring. The Oxford, Wisconsin VFW hosted their 4th annual Fireball Run, raising funds for the University of Wisconsin–Madison MIA Recovery and Identification Project.

Because Wisconsin does not yet have legislation to fund efforts to identify and bring home service members killed in action, Post 6003 has stepped up in a powerful way—helping ensure our fallen heroes are never forgotten. Their efforts even provide opportunities to accompany service members as they are brought home to their families.

💙 A huge thank-you to the Oxford VFW for honoring our nation’s heroes with such dedication and compassion.

✨ Today, we pause to remember the lives lost and the bravery shown on September 11th. We also hold close the resilience of our first responders—their courage then, and their continued dedication now.

At Angie’s Place, we honor those who serve and protect, often carrying invisible burdens in silence. We stand with you in remembrance, resilience, and hope. 💙
