We recently had a great visit from our friend and supporter, Mark Dolfini of
Standing for the Fallen. Since May of last year, Mark and the Marines of the Lafayette, IN Marine Corps League have have worked diligently almost every single weekend raising funds to purchase supplies for our warriors at Landstuhl.

Mark went right to work, unpacking boxes and taking care of the never-ending task of stocking the donations shelves. October 27, 2011. Photo: Soldiers' Angels.

The only thing I told Mark one afternoon was that we needed to go over to meet the Medical Transient Detachment commander around 1600... little did Mark know the Commander had prepared a little ceremony...

"In recognition of your unbridled efforts in collecting donations for Wounded Warriors."
The following weekend, Mark was back on the road. First in New Mexico...
