Honorable Discharge
Over the past 14 years I have dedicated much of my personal time to assist our active duty military and veterans in need. I as a past active duty US Marine; I recognize the importance of involving our community in making sure we take care of those who serve and may need assistance.
With this we realized a need to assist our wounded men and woman with support; both monetary and emotional. Over the past 12 years I have put on a Warrior Benefit Concert at the American Legion Greece Post 468. With this all day event we have raised over $500,000 that goes directly to our two benefactors; New York Warrior Alliance and the Patriot Guard Riders NY HOTH (Help on the Homefront Program). Both of these benefactors give 100% of monies received to the following; our men and women recovering from wounds received while serving at Walter Reed, Bethesda, Burn Unit Texas, the caregivers, families, our local veterans in need of assistance, veteran homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, suicide prevention, and so much more.
As I mention when I speak to groups; there comes a time in life when you will be able to give back. While you maybe on the receiving end; at some point you'll be able to move it forward. By moving this gift forward we can ensure that our community will continue to grow and succeed.
