Join us in congratulating Chris Carney, SSgt. Heath Calhoun, and SSgt. Ryan Kelly for successfully completing their epic, 4200 mile cross country bike ride.

Through their efforts and sacrifices over the past few months, they have helped to raise public awareness and support for the needs of the thousands of severely wounded servicemen and women who are still undergoing rehabilitation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and other government medical facilities across the country.

Soldier Ride and the Wounded Warrior Project provide comfort items and necessities to severely wounded soldiers recovering in military hospitals around the country, support families of the wounded as they travel to the bedside of their injured loved ones, and assist our wounded heroes in their transition to an independent life back home.

Little Caesars owner sets up injured soldier and a buddy with franchise.

When Little Caesars pizza owner Mike Ilitch read about soldier Robbie Doughty's struggle after losing two legs in Iraq, it reminded him of an injury that curtailed his baseball career. "I gave up my career after three years in the minors," Ilitch said. "I couldn't get a job when I got out. I had no training and no specific knowledge."
So Ilitch, who now owns the Detroit Tigers and the Detroit Red Wings, had a Little Caesars executive track down Doughty and offer him a chance to open a franchise in Paducah......MORE.

Thanks to Yishai for the happy thoughts of the day!
