    Since our establishment by the Secretary of War and Chief of Staff of the Army in 1942, Army Emergency Relief has been there for Soldiers and their Families. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary this year, our purpose - to alleviate Soldier financial distress - is just as relevant today as it was in 1942. That purpose manifests itself in the $1.7B in assistance to 3.7M members of the Army Family over these past nearly eight decades. Our relevancy is underscored by the fact that more than half of that $1.7B was provided since 9-11. The AER team is proud to be “Helping the Army Take Care of its Own.” It is the dedication and passion of the AER Headquarters family and the magnificent AER Officers stationed across the globe who provide the kind of care and compassion that truly makes a difference in resolving financial issues for our Soldiers. The global AER team, faithfully supported by IMCOM and Garrison Commanders and their Command Sergeants Major, clearly makes a difference every day in holding true to the long-standing AER motto of “Soldiers Helping Soldiers.” I thank them and all leaders from the squad to General Officer level for their outstanding efforts in promoting the benefits of Army Emergency Relief and encouraging donations. In addition to support from the Army leadership and our magnificent Board of Managers, AER has also enjoyed the leadership of superb Directors over its 75-year history. Our most recent Director, LTG Robert F. Foley, retired in December 2016 after leading AER for more than eleven years.
