Did you know that . . . Army Emergency Relief has provided more than $1.5 billion in assistance to Soldiers and Families since 1942? That assistance has been provided to more than 3.5 million Soldiers and Families in the form of no-interest loans and grants, as well as scholarships to Children and Spouses of Soldiers. Each case it evaluated on its own merits and there is no “boiler-plate� answer. AER should be the first stop when a Soldier is confronted with a financial emergency. Please contact AER for further information! Let them know how they can be of assistance.
