The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) offers free, 24/7 compassionate care and support to anyone grieving the loss of a military loved one. Since 1994, TAPS has assisted more than 75,000 surviving families, casualty officers and caregivers. AIS has been proudly supporting this wonderful organization for a number of years.
Last week AIS was a sponsor at the TAPS 10th annual Honor Guard Gala in Washington, D.C. This event helps raise critical funding for TAPS programs throughout the year. We had a number of employees attend, and Wade Allen and Brett Goldsmith provided the following photos for anyone who missed it.

Just a few of the more than 74,000 survivors TAPS has helped, pictured with their fallen loved one.
On the stage are surviving family members that attended the event and sat in the crowd. They are each holding a photo of their lost loved one.
