Folds of Honor-Patriot Golf Day (Labor Day Weekend)

Last year my Club members did not know what the Folds meant - so- I did a rough draft explaining the Folds- and my friend turned it into a beautiful bulletin- We added the photo of a child accepting the Folds from his Father's casket--that did it!!
As Soon As the Members knew what Patriot Golf Day and the Folds meant- they gave- in just 3 days- $1200 ..
This year- $3100!!
FOLDS OF HONOR FOUNDATION -Site - Read the incident that prompted  Maj Rooney (F-16 Pilot) to start the Folds of Honor to honor our fallen and give aide to the children of our fallen...
This video is also from the FoH site...

That photo stays with me Carol. No doubt that young man heard things about his father that he will remember too and always respect him for. Man, we need about 250 million more of these young men.
