Paul’s civilian job involved being a support to fellow Veterans and assisting them in finding their way following separation from service. In addition to being a phenomenal father and husband, he is a guide and mentor anywhere he finds brothers and sisters to connect with. He is the definition of Veterans supporting Veterans, and we are so grateful that our team and community has had the opportunity to support him for the past year!
Paul, we are so proud of your dedication to this program and the way that you showed up for yourself each week. You know that you and your family are now forever a part of this community and we will support you always!
We want to thank Sylvania Legion Post 468 for sponsoring Paul and making this healing journey possible for him! We are so grateful that your partnership allowed us to bring these life changing services to someone so deserving. The impact you’ve made not only on Paul, but also on every person that loves him, is immense.
