Homes for our Troops Fundraiser
August 24, 2010 At the Illinois ADC Union Meeting Barbeque this past Tuesday, we raised $1000.00 for the "Homes for our Troops" foundation. The money will help support the new home being built for SPC Frank Pierson. Illinois Governor Pat Quinn attended the meeting and made a donation of his own. He is a HUGE supporter of the Troops.

Homes for our Troops
I was contacted this past week to help out a Soldier in need. The organization "Homes for our Troops" is building homes for our wounded Soldiers. Without hesitation, we at the Training Center grabbed our trowels and installed the masonry on SPC Frank Pierson's new home in Plainfield, Illinois. It was very fulfilling and yet very sad to see this young man who lost both legs while in combat in Iraq More photos in the photo gallery
