Hello supporters and fans of Military HEROS Foundation,

Thank you, we couldn't do this without your support and help. Last Saturday I got some great help from a place called DC's Country Junction in Lowell Indiana and I have to say a big thanks to Dan for his generosity. It is a family country party place. They have line dancing, food, drinks for all ages and tons of fun! The very talented house band was playing when I walk in and I enjoyed it immensely. Dan took me into the office and basically said "whatever we can do to help, we will". How generous of DC's. We are planning a HUGE fund raiser on March 30th. I hope lots of you can come out and join us. There will be raffles, drawings, a silent auction and lots of FUN!!

Hey, two days in a row!! Who would of thunk.... Anyway, I just had to tell everyone about my presentation last night. I presented to a group called The Wall Gang. They are a group of vets, a lot of them motorcycle riders and they ride to Washing D.C. every memorial day to the Wall to honor the vets who gave their lives in Vietnam. As soon as I walked in, I got a hug from Steve Moore, the president and founder of the organization and was so warmly welcomed by all. With their generous donation, my dream moves forward. I just want to say thanks to The Wall Gang, you guys are AWESOME!!!

Once again time is flying by, we are already more than a week into the New Year. First I want to declare that 2008 will be GREAT! I'm looking forward to a successful 2008 and I hope every one enjoyed their holidays. I started my New Year off by raising money for the foundation. I have put together a presentation that I give at VFW's, Lions clubs and local businesses. Again, I just started it, but last week I raised 600 dollars and now that I got it rolling, I plan on getting more and more. These generous donations will help pay for the filing of the form 1023 to the IRS which gives us the 501c3 status that will allow us to go for the big bucks from the government and big business. Luckly, I get to talk to my son Travis almost every day. He is in Bagdad now, not real happy about that, but the FOB he is at has not lost a soldier in the green zone in over 2 years. Now if he can just stay out of the red zone, thats another story. I wish all of you good luck in 2008, and thanks to everyone who is supporting the military either through Military HEROS Foundation or other ways!!!
