Ladies and Gentlemen:

Support Our War Heroes is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization founded locally to assist military members who have sustained life-altering injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11. All funds are privately donated for use toward (a) direct grants for unmet needs to severely injured military members, who we call heroes and are usually medically retired from service, and (b) the establishment of scholarship funds for dependent children of heroes. Another part of our mission is to honor our heroes by remembering their extreme sacrifices for our country through recognition in several ways. Please visit "Our Foundation" page in our website, www.supportourwarheroes.org, for more information about the organization. 

Support Our War Heroes is planning our second “In the Company of Heroes” at the National World War II Museum on Thursday evening, November 6, 2008. This event honors our heroes who have sacrificed their lives and livelihoods in service to our country. Support Our War Heroes is pleased to announce that Lt. Colonel Oliver North is our guest speaker this year. The two ways Support Our War Heroes is able to raise funds through this event is from sponsorships and the silent auction (next page). This event is our main fundraiser for the year and we are asking for your support through donations to our silent auction part of the event. We need your help to make this event a success.

Thank you for considering Support Our War Heroes. Please contact us about assisting with this request for “In the Company of Heroes” 2008.

Sincerely,

Suzy McDaniel                                                 Silvia Muller
