As the nation observes Memorial Day to honor the men and women who have sacrificed their lives while serving in the U.S. military, today the Raiders Foundation expressed their gratitude to Share Village residents, many of which are veterans, by providing lunch and recognizing them for their service, as well as honoring those who lost their lives fighting for our country.
Members of the Raiders Foundation staff were joined by Raiders Alumni Napoleon McCallum, a Naval Academy graduate and military veteran and Roy Hart as well as a number of Raiderettes in delivering over 200 boxes lunches to residents of the Share Village on North 21st Street to help recognize those who serve and have served, and to pay tribute to fallen members of our military community.
