and therapy programs for needy veterans, a military care package program for
deployed troops, support for military families and help for returning veterans
to reintegrate into society. Hilden said she founded MilVet.org “to serve the
unique needs of military families”, but she also knows the importance of “educating
the community about what our families face, and how they can help support them
during deployment and after they return home.”
Griffin-McClendon
Hilden's
passion for serving deployed military echoes that of the scholarship's
namesake, Maj. Fannie Griffin-McClendon, who served 26 years in the U.S. Army.
Griffin-McClendon served in the 6888th Central Postal
Directory Battalion, known as the SixTripleEight, that was sent to England and
France to clear a backlog of 17 million pieces of mail during WWII. By clearing
the mail backlog and keeping the mail flowing, the battalion ensured troops
stayed in touch with loved ones at home and kept morale high. The
SixTripleEight was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe
during WWII.
The
Maj. Fannie Griffin-McClendon scholarship is sponsored by the National Society
of Leadership and Success (NSLS) Foundation.
