Mission Statement

I remember going down to the Legion post with my grandfather [World War II U.S. Army veteran Howard Schlitter] and hearing him say things like “You’ve got to take care of the veterans. You’ve got to be there for them and help them out.” None of that really resonated with me until after he was gone. Then I realized I have to be his voice.
