“If it hadn’t been for the Yellow Ribbon Fund I don’t know where John would end up right now.” Susan Williams, mother of Sgt. John Fuller, a young California National Guardsman wounded in Iraq, spoke these words in a story aired by Fox News on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
View John’s inspirational story and how the Yellow Ribbon Fund helped in his recovery:
As many of you know, Christy, Marti, Kevin and I have chosen The Yellow Ribbon Fund to honor Scott’s wish that we support wounded soldiers and their families. This story is a wonderful example of the work they do and the families they help. On the Yellow Ribbon Fund website, you will find many ways to help other than donations. They need volunteers, mentors, tickets to sports events and just anybody who wants to help a vet and his family enjoy a normal bit of life.
Happy New Year to everyone!
My friend Jerry, a wounded Vietnam vet, is an adaptive ski instructor who volunteers with the soldiers at Walter Reed. I am hoping to join him on some ski trips in the coming months, and if so, I’ll get to work with some of these soldiers first-hand. I’m very much looking forward to it, and I’ll keep you posted!
