I am an 8th grader at LREI and I am very intrested in helping out our American troops. My fascination in helping the vets started when my grandfather who also happened to serve, informed me that veterans weren't receiving adaquite health care. This truly upset me and made me wonder why our country was doing this. I think vets should not have to go to private hospitals and pay for the things they need to excel such as prostheses and physical rehab. I am now not just trying to raise money, but awareness. Please help my group and I by emailing your friends and donating when the opportunity comes to you. You can reach the group by contacting our private email - LREIWV2014@gmail.com
