Guide for families Serving soldiers and their families
No soldier stands alone.
Whether you have lost someone you love, are trying to get the benefits you earned, or were put out of the military and feel like the door has closed, we will walk the road with you, one step at a time.
Where to start
How can we help you today?
Choose the situation closest to yours. Each guide explains what you may be entitled to, the forms involved, and where to turn, in plain language.
I need my benefits
VA health care, disability compensation, the GI Bill, home loans, job help and housing. Learn what you have earned and how to file without paying anyone for it.
Benefits guideI was kicked out
An other-than-honorable, bad-conduct, or general discharge is not the end. Discharge upgrades, records corrections and clemency can change your future, and help is free.
Second-chance guide
Insure your loved ones
Your military life insurance doesn't follow you home.
SGLI coverage of up to $500,000 ends just 120 days after you leave the service. Learn your options, including VGLI, VALife and private plans, before your family's protection runs out.

Our mission
Helping soldiers and families through the hardest transitions
The Fallen Soldiers Organization, Inc. helps soldiers, veterans and their families fill out the forms and applications that unlock the benefits they have earned, and stands with them when the system feels impossible to navigate.
- Helping families of the fallen apply for the survivor benefits they are owed.
- Helping veterans file for VA health care, disability compensation, the GI Bill and home loans.
- Helping soldiers who were discharged or court-martialed prepare discharge upgrade and clemency applications.
- Partnering with legal counsel for soldiers who need representation.
- Working with a licensed insurance broker so families stay protected after military coverage ends.
Our vision
No soldier or family is left to face the system alone. Every family of the fallen receives the benefits they are owed. Every veteran claims what they earned. Every soldier who was put out gets a fair second chance, and every military family stays protected long after the uniform comes off.
What we do for you, at no cost
- Listen first, then build a plan for your situation
- Help gather records and fill out VA and military forms
- Help prepare discharge upgrade and clemency applications
- Partner with legal counsel and a licensed insurance broker when you need more help
