“When approached to join the LEO Weekend Board, I didn’t think twice about accepting. To work with this team of dedicated volunteers is an HONOR. The time and effort that goes into organizing and planning events for the families of our fallen and injured is tiresome but well worth it. We must not forget our fallen, but most of all we must not forget the loved ones of who were left behind. LEO Weekend’s goal is to support our brothers and sisters in blue at a time of need and give them a little bit of normalcy… and for that, I’m all in.”
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for another .”
