As CEO and Executive Director, for four years, of a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving families of the fallen who died in active service on or after September 11, 2001, Marie had the privilege of developing relationships with and speaking before the United States armed services, both inside and outside the Pentagon, around the United States, and the companies and organizations that honor and support them.
Private presentations included the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon and regional commanding officers for the U.S. Army Reserve. ​At Fort Meade, Maryland Marie gave presentations, by invitation for four consecutive years, to Air Force officers and chaplains at the annual Air Force Casualty & Loss Seminar. These service personnel call on the next of kin of fallen active service members at the time of loss, and provide ongoing service to them for emotional support and survivor benefits.
