Soldier Fundraiser

Mar-27-2009 » Filed Under: 2nd SCR , Charitable Projects

According to Asbury Park Press a local VFW is holding a fundraiser this Saturday for a former 2nd SCR soldier who lost both legs in Iraq.

It looks as if Iraq War veteran Sgt. Michael Minard is more than getting by with a little help from his friends.

Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4247 are holding a fundraiser Saturday to help the Army veteran and Keyport native, who lost his legs in battle last year.

The event will be held at the VFW Post 4247 at Third Avenue and Waverly Street between 4 and 8 p.m.

Funds raised will be used to reconstruct Minard's home to make it more accessable for him to move around.
