Local NRA group welcomes wounded veterans, raises funds for soldiers

March

Two wounded veterans will be special guests at the Hudson Valley Friends of the NRA’s 16th annual banquet at Casa Mia Manor House in Blauvelt this Friday.

Both men are amputees who live in Orange County, said Stan Pascoo, the group’s chairman, who met them through the Wounded Warrior Project, a nonprofit group that raises awareness and funds (largely through athletic events) for the ongoing rehabilitation of severely injured soldiers returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.woundedwarrior.jpg

Pascoo, a West Nyack sportsman, volunteers with the organization’s WWP Outdoors, helping guide disabled veterans – including an Army Ranger blinded by an artillery shell during his service in Iraq – on hunting trips in the Lower Hudson Valley.

During Friday’s dinner, the group will collect donations for pre-paid phone cards to send to soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last year, the event raised more than $1,200 for this purpose, Pascoo said.

Tickets for the banquet start at $40. For more information, call John at (845) 268-7016.

  3. A lot of people just blow this stuff off, and I feel that their investing ability suffers in the end. There’s a major tendency to look for shortcuts that most folds end up sabotaging themselves. An occasional dose of reality helps us all to keep a sharp focus in a pitiless market.

  4. I think that backlinks are the most important aspect of SEO, so that is what i focus on.

  5. I really like what you did with your site. Rock on??.
