October 2021 Charity of the Month: Fallen U.S. Service Members’ Families

Charity Of The Month October 1st, 2021

Help us donate to the families of our U.S. Service Members who recently suffered a fatal attack in Afghanistan.


Serving one’s country, and the world, in the U.S. military is an honor and sacrifice. To some servicemen and women and their families, it means the ultimate sacrifice. Events that occurred on August 26, 2021 changed the lives of 13 of these courageous families. On that day they became “Gold Star,” a title one hopes to never get.

CharityRx will pay tribute to these service personnel who paid the ultimate price of freedom with their lives. Throughout the month of October 2021, CharityRx reps across the nation will be working diligently to raise funds to directly benefit these new Gold Star families after the recent loss of their loved ones through the use of the CharityRx Prescription Discount Card.

We also honor the Fallen 13 by learning more about each one so that we may more fully understand who they were. Please click their photos below to read and learn about the lives of each of these brave heroes.
