DuPage Veteran Mentor Program

Hello Everyone! I wanted to let everyone know about the Lt. Dan Concert that will be on July 11th. It is Gary's only public ticketed event in the U.S. this year and meant to honor our vets and America's 250th! West Suburban Foundation for Disabled Veterans is again sponsoring the concert and you can get tickets at https://www.wsfdv.org/ The admission covers the show, parking, shuttle, Cantigny Gardens and the First Division Museum. It will be a spectacular event and American Idol runner-up Hunter Girl will also be there! The event will benefit over 20 veteran service agencies! Get your tickets quick because they will be selling out fast and you can't get this kind of fun for $50. If you can't attend but want to help a vet to attend there is a way to do that as well on the website.

Gary Sinise Foundation doing good again!

Three communities. One standard of care. Thanks to a new Zoll X Series cardiac monitor, provided through a grant from the Gary Sinise Foundation, Roosevelt Medical Center EMS can now deliver the latest life-saving technology to every community they serve. 🚑

We’re proud to stand with first responders who never stop showing up. 💙
