"The research also shows that 30% of active-duty respondents feel a sense of belonging to their local communities, local civilian communities. So clearly there's room for us as a nation to improve," said Mayor Ron Nirenberg.

Blue Star families, the sponsoring non-profit, hopes to create a sense of belonging by aiding with readiness and support programs for the whole family.
