Bonnie Carroll: Supporting Bereaved Military Families

Posted on March 24, 2020 - by admin

Bonnie Carroll founded the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) in 1994, at a time when there was no national support network for the families of America’s fallen heroes. Through her own loss of her husband, Brig. Gen.
