Military Missions was born in 2004 by Beth Pennington and her parents, John and Barbara Denson, were Beth’s biggest supporters. They helped out whenever and wherever needed. Barbara also answered the office phone for many years.
We were heartbroken to hear of Barbara’s passing on October 21, 2022. She had touched so many people throughout the years, we knew we wanted to do something to keep her legacy alive.
It was decided to create the annual Barbara Denson Memorial Volunteer Award. The award would ideally be presented each January since Barbara’s birthday was January 7th. The recipients must have a heart for volunteering, like Barbara, and go above and beyond by showing initiative and enthusiasm for serving others.
