On Monday, August 23, 2022 a Press Conference was held at the Walmart SuperCenter in Rochester Minnesota to thank Store Manager Mitch, his management Team, his employees and Walmart for their generosity in the fight for our veterans and service men and women with a gift of $1,000.00. The Rochester Walmart store joined other Walmart SuperCenters and Sam’s Clubs in West Central Wisconsin and Southeast Minnesota and their combined gifts and grants in excess of $17,000.00 will be utilized for a no-cost program for veterans and active-duty military focused on eliminating the suicide epidemic among our combat veterans without getting them hooked on pain killers and other drugs. On deck to accept the gift on behalf of the PTSD Benefit were members of the Post Honor Guard of Whitlock-Sonnenberg VFW Post 1215. Pictured above from the left are Willie E.
