For some reason, the minute I laid eyes on this event I knew it was for me.  Yes- Skydiving is on my bucket list.  More importantly I ask you to support me for 3 reasons:

1. I believe in giving back to our community in some way- and what a cool way is this- supporting our local service men and women.  

2. I have the utmost respect for the men and women who sacrifice to serve their country, and their families who sacrifice as they support their loved ones service.  I cannot even begin to imagine the challlenges our veterans face as the re-enter civilian life- with and without service related disabilities.  I believe that every veteran and their family deserves support upon their return home- and that is exactly what this organization provides to our local heroes returning home.

3. Some of my favorite people in the world served our country---especially my dad Sr. Chief Craig, my Uncle Rick Damon, and the very cool Jack McAuley, and Seth Damon.  And I would be remiss not to mention Carver's own Josh Dion- new to the United States Air Force- doing us all proud.
