Troops Raise More Than $20K For Families of Wounded Veterans
Master Sgt. Terry Anderson
Combined Joint Task Force 76
BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan, 7 Jul 2004 ? Troops serving on the front lines in the Global War on Terrorism spend months away from their families and friends, put themselves in harms way, and live in difficult conditions. On July 4, those troops sacrificed a little sweat and money to help the families of wounded veterans.
Soldiers from Logistics Task Force 725, along with Command Sgt. Maj. Timothy Green from base operations, organized the ?Freedom Is Never Free? 10-kilometer run, raising more than $20,000 to support the families of wounded veterans staying at the Fisher Houses. The Fisher House foundation donates ?comfort homes? built on the grounds of major military and Veterans Administration medical centers.
The Fisher House homes allow families to stay close to their loved one during their stay in the hospital, which could last days, weeks, or even months.
