"So in the middle of the night, I just kept thinking...this country can do better. They've lost their arms and legs for the U.S. We can do better."
--Sandy Lehmkuhler on the origins of Warrior Foundation Freedom Station.
This week, we’re once again asking you to join us to help Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, a fantastic organization that aims to send ill and injured service members home for Christmas.
Our rather ambitious goal this year (given the pandemic) is to raise $500,000 by 10am Pacific on Friday, November 20. In spite of the challenges brought-on by the pandemic, we’re confident that with your help--we can do it!
One of reasons we're involved with Warrior Foundation Freedom Station is due to the presence of a true angel. There's simply no other way to put it--Sandy Lehmkuhler is an angel.
Back in 2004, the Navy wife and mom was struck by how the needs of our injured troops were not being met--and she was determined to do something about it.
Listen to the Armstrong & Getty Select Cuts Podcast to learn about how Sandy started the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station with one simple idea in mind....
