What Does God Look Like?
1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
While no one knows what God looks like, we can show others what God is like by caring for them. When a Troop or Veteran is in need, it is easy for them to give up and lose hope. You are the person who can restore that hope. Get involved, volunteer, reach out, give, or otherwise demonstrate love through your support of the SS American Memorial. You have the ability to help others to see what God is like and renew their hope for the future, simply by acting in love.

Lazy U Ranch
APPROVED location for
Veterans Treatment Court….
Earlier this year the SS American Memorial Foundation board of directors approached the Guadalupe County DAV (Disabled American Veterans) group and started the motions to allow veterans court to use the Lazy U Ranch as an approved location for community service. The Honorable Judge Robin V. Dwyer Guadalupe Country gave approval October 2016.
Veterans come weekly to the SS American Memorial serving community hours while helping preserve and up keep the memorial grounds.
THE SECRET is OUT!
Gaining recognition and appreciation!
56th Signal Battalion offers “CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION” after spending day of R&R at the Lazy U Ranch. Each month brings a new awareness to the location and continues to grow within the military ranks with the location being used by active duty, National and Reserve Guard Units, Veterans groups, Churches, and public schools. The SS American Memorial Foundation does not charge any fees for use of the grounds.
