Rotary at Work... Warrior Bonfire Purple Hearts
Mike Foss posted on Facebook an awesome testimonial from Kyle, one of the Purple Hearts we hosted skiing last week. "Going from military to civilian live came at me fast, I'm still adapting and just trying to get accustomed to the lifestyle. Warrior Bonfire is a great program that is trying to help veterans find their way in life. This week is the happiest I have been in a long time." No further words are needed!!
