Thank you to everyone who attended or supported my project "Connect a Vet with a Pet!" In addition to honoring our Veterans, we raised over $2000 that will go towards the adoption fees for Veterans.  The fundraising page is still open and I hope you will consider making a donation of any size - https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/1700498

A special thank you to Bideawee, our host Kate Lombardi and my family:  my mom and inspiration Nancy, my Eagle Scout brother Bryan, and my dad Gary.

I also am so grateful to Navy Commander and my former Scoutmaster Cory Barker for traveling to NYC and always supporting the project and me; Brett D'Alessandro from Backpacks for Life [Sgt. Ret.]; David Lewison from 100 Memorial Run and my uncle; New York State Senator and Eagle Scout Brad Hoylman for the beautiful proclamation, (I will post it this week); NOW-NYC Sonia Ossorio; Leslie Berg and Samantha Marder from Canine Companions for Independence; Scoutmaster Cara O'Brien and Declan; Jim Nedelka from the Jan Hus Church; Boy Scout National Chair James Turley; Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh; and, Greater New York Councils CEO Ethan Draddy. I apologize for missing the names of many others individuals and groups who worked so hard for our Veterans and supported or inspired me.   

I hope the Boy Scout leadership will review my Eagle Scout Workbook and accept it for consideration.
