Marlo Thomas Is Carrying Her Family s Torch
Thomas is perhaps America’s most steadfast philanthropist. She also might be its most successful one. Jun 2, 2021
Marlo Thomas has a lot on her mind. A script to read. A podcast to record. A book to write. Her new Williams-Sonoma collection of entertaining essentials. Women’s rights. Gun control laws. And always: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “I honestly can’t tell you where my thoughts of St. Jude begin and where they end. If I’m not in a board meeting, I’m on the phone talking to a corporate sponsor, working on a fundraising video, or speaking at a hospital event,” she says. Sleep is no escape. “I even dream about the kids and their families,” she adds.

On Memorial Day, America honors the more than 1 million men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
Robert Wilkie, secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the Trump administration, says Americans owe a great debt because without those who laid down their lives, “we wouldn’t have very much to stand on.”
Wilkie, who grew up in a military family, learned from a young age that freedom has a cost. Also a former undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, he says it is imperative that young Americans are taught U.S. history and the values of our nation. Otherwise, he says, they won’t understand why America is worth fighting for.
