| Approximately forty percent of American troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are from Reserve units. For many, the financial sacrifices are great. Current law requires only an unpaid leave of absence for those called to active duty. While Reserve Service Members retain long-term job security, many make significantly less than they would in their civilian lives. Accordingly, nearly 41% of Reserve Service Members are impacted by a pay discrepancy between their military and civilian salaries. These financial sacrifices are compounded for the 56% of Reserve Service Members that are married. Fully 55% of married Reserve Service Members report a loss of income as a result of being called to active duty. |

Reserve Aid is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization committed to providing
financial support to the families of Reserve Service Members called to active duty in all five branches of the Armed Forces. Reserve Aid makes unrestricted, need based grants to military families who have a Reserve Service Member on full-time deployment to a combat zone or homeland security position. Our goal is to alleviate the emotional and financial burdens placed on the men and women called to serve our country by supporting their families at home.
