Sometimes it’s the small events that count.
On May 16, 2015, at the Davis Cattle Farm in the small southeastern town of Ringgold, Georgia, passionate souls joined together to show their support to help contribute to building a new home for Jason Smith, a war veteran who lost both legs and suffered other severe injuries in Afghanistan.
The aim of the event, at which country music superstar Aaron Tippin performed, was to money to build a home for wounded warrior Smith, his family and expected child. Others contributed in spirit via online contributions.
Gene Bishop, owner, G&K Sign, and an advocate of the wounded warrior project, was on site to explain his personal mission to help build awareness of the cause, while on an LED mobile digital trailer, Smith’s life was highlighted.
The digital sign, donated by Formetco Inc. of Duluth, Georgia, ran throughout the entire event showing personal photos of Smith, his family and a live video feed of the concert..
This is the second home built for wounded warriors by the Steps 2 Hope Foundation.
“It is both exciting and humbling to when groups of people work together to show their passion and humanity and to honor those who served,” says Jason Gribble, marketing director, Formetco.
Monday, May 25, is Memorial Day in the US, commemorating those in the military who served and died in various conflicts.
