Operation First Response - Fundraiser - 6-28-08

Posted 6/26/2008 3:01:00 AM

A fundraiser on Saturday night, June 28th. It's at Soncini's Bar/restaurant from 7pm until 10 pm. Tickets are $30 and include buffet, draft beer, and mix drinks. Proceeds go to Operation First Response, an organization that helps our wounded heroes returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. There will be a local Hero from Warminster PA there on Saturday as well. His name is PFC Justin Gindhart - he is a Army Combat Infantry Medic and he saved the life of Cpl. Wesley Leon. They were in an IED blast on December 20th, 2007. If it weren't for Justin, Cpl. Leon would not be alive today. PFC Justin Gindhart is on R&R Leave from Iraq right now and returns to Iraq on the 4th of July. We'd love to get as many people out to thank him and to support the wounded as possible. More information about Operation First Response Here: http://www.operationfirstresponse.org/ ...
