Support The Task Force Dagger Foundation

Sunday, November 15th, 2015

I had the honor of spending the past few days with some outstanding folks from the Task Force Dagger Foundation.  I am very impressed with what I’ve seen. 

Our Mission: Task Force Dagger Foundation is a United States Army Special Operations Command based organization dedicated to providing assistance to all wounded, ill, or injured members and their families and the families of casualties of the U.S. Special Operations Command.

The Task Force Dagger Foundation was established in July of 2009 and is a federally recognized 501(c) (3) non profit foundation. The Foundation assists US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) service members and their families when a valid need is identified.   In fact, the Foundation works with the SOCOM Care Coalition.

The work they have done is no less than amazing. The wounds suffered by the men they’ve assisted are devastating to be sure, but Task Force Dagger Foundation has made the best treatments available to them and it has really paid off.

It’s not cheap to help these guys out and that’s why I’m personally appealing to you to consider making a donation to this great cause.  There’s very little overhead and they are putting donations right to work to help wounded SOF personnel and their families.

Virginia Beach resident and Retired Navy SEAL, Harry Bologna was recently wounded when he stepped on a landmine in Afghanistan while serving as a contractor. He is currently recovering at Walter Reed Hospital. Unfortunately, he lost both of his legs and suffered a broken pelvis and internal injuries. Yet, as with his prior 23 year career as a US Navy SEAL, Harry continues to exhibit a no quit, only move forward attitude that is a source of incredible inspiration.
