Jim Adams did a great job of organizing and promoting Mike’s speaking engagement at 3rd Place Books. Approximately 70 folks showed up and attended the event. Seated in the front row were a Gold Star mother and father who’s son portrait was drawn several years ago. At the time they lived in the Midwest and only recently moved to the NW. Having them in attendance just brought to attention that this project is about supporting the families of the fallen. After the speech, the Post presented Mike a check for $1,000 to support his work. Mike told me later that the Gold Star parents had made a similar contribution. We will continue, as a Post, to assist him in his efforts.
