The outpouring of support from this beautiful community we call home has meant the world to us. Your generosity is what keeps Frank's legacy alive.

We're excited to share a special way to show your support. For a donation of $147, you'll receive the flag pictured. The number 147 isn't a random figure; it's a number that will always belong to Frank. This opportunity closes on the night of Tuesday, June 9th at midnight.

Flags will be available for in-person pick up, in Coeur d Alene, the week of June 22nd. We'd love to see them flying proudly from June 29th through July 11th; honoring Frank and all who serve.

To claim your flag kit and make your donation, follow the link: https://secure.anedot.com/frank-j-harwood-initiative/6c3858ca-609b-430c-a551-e6dd428d70b0

Thank you for your continued support. It means everything.

We recently had the opportunity to sit down and share the story behind the JW Memorial Foundation, why it was created, and the mission that continues to drive us forward.

This conversation goes beyond our foundation—it’s about honoring a legacy, supporting first responders and their families, and building a community that looks out for one another when it matters most.

We’re grateful for the chance to tell our story and hope you'll take a few minutes to listen.
