If you're in my area next weekend, take time to attend this wonderful event. You'll have goosebumps when you hear the stories and the music but you'll also be uplifted at the ongoing courage by the veterans and their caregivers!
Beaufort, SC will host the 2nd annual Lt. Dan Weekend from September 14 - 18, 2011. The Independence Fund is sponsoring this great event with actor Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band headlining the event!
The Lt. Dan Weekend provides an opportunity for more than 100 severely wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and their caregivers to bond in fellowship with wounded warriors, participate in athletic events, enjoy recreational activities in the Lowcountry and be entertained. Proceeds raised during the weekend will go to the Independence Fund and helping provide tools, therapy and help for veterans injured in the Global War on Terror.
Here's the lineup:
DAY 1 - Veterans and caregivers arrive for a meet and greet dinner
DAY 2 - Caregiver spa and luncheon - the veterans spend the day in seminars and bike fittings.
DAY 3 - Veterans speak at local schools. Veterans and caregivers participate in boating, kayaking, golf and horseback riding AND there's a Lt. Dan Classic golf tournament at Parris Island golf course - the evening finishes off with the LT. DAN BAND CONCERT -
DAY 4 - Veterans and caregivers participate in either 5K or Lt. Dan Bike Ride - Gary Sinise serves as Grand Marshal of the parade!
All in all an event to remember -
