The event featured two recipients who benefited from FWSF organization that helped them through their life-altering injuries that they had suffered defending our freedom. Jerold Boler U.S. National Guard and Robert LaMarche U.S. Army, presented their stories of how they survived and how Fallen and Wounded Soldiers Fund helped them with the funds they needed when there was nowhere else to turn.
The two emotional speeches brought the attention to everyone that FWSF is Michigan’s premiere foundation for donating money to help wounded and military families that have given so much for our freedom.
Keynote speaker Lt. Col. Oliver North (Ret.) gave a very compelling talk that kept everyone’s attention. North is host of War Stories on Fox News Channel and an author of 11 books amongst his many other military accomplishments. |
