The mission of the Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes is to help severely-wounded veterans and families of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom recover from their injuries and illnesses, and to inspire other organizations and the general public to participate in this effort. They offer emergency financial aid, holiday gift programs, public outreach, and many other worthwhile initiatives to aid America’s servicemen and women.  I’ll be in San Diego from October 4-8, 2014 to join in this effort.

On October 4th, we’ll be at Loew’s Coronado Bay Resort for a special evening celebration to honor and raise funds to support severely wounded veterans. Come and join us!

The Weekend to Remember in Middletown, Ohio is all about a local community coming together to welcome veterans home. The Fastrax  and Halo for Freedom volunteers sponsored tandem skydiving jumps, a shooting competition, airboat bow fishing, a balloon festival, a carnival for the community and kids, and finally a Cincinnati Reds game. I spoke to veterans about overcoming their own adversity, seeking help for PTSD, and tried to lead them to their own spirituality. I encouraged education and community unity. During my presentation, I spoke on my injuries, the loss, the recovery and finally the salvation I found in my journey from hospital bed to independence.

I was able to present to the International Franchise Association (IFA) with an audience of 3,000 CEOs, CFOs, and Presidents representing America’s best brands. I explained the core values and high standards each member of the military maintains in order to encourage the group of professionals to take the initiative to help these men and women who were willing to give all for their nation.
