The Annual Warrior Benefit Concert at the American Legion, 344 Dorsey Road, Greece, will be held Saturday August 10, 9AM t0 9PM. A day of music, food and fun for all ages.
Funds raised will assist wounded men and women in the military recovering at military hospitals and rehabilitation centers on the east coast.This year funds will benefit the Patriot Guard Riders NY Help on the Homefront programs, Monroe County War on Terror Memorial located in Highland Park, and American Legion Greece Post 468 veterans assistance programs.
Over the past twelve years, the sacrifices of local men and women of the military who served with distinction and showed true courage in recovering from wounds received has been recognized. The bonds that are formed by guests of honor with other honorees and veterans alike are priceless. Support given and received is an unwavering devotion of the community’s commitment to honor all of those who served. This is nice way to say thank you for serving.
This year two great men will be honored. Rochester’s own John “Jack” Foy, Army WWII Battle of the Bulge and Chuck Macaluso, Marine Vietnam Phu Bai and Khe Sanh. Both men served in conditions that most cannot even imagine or comprehend the courage it took to over come the odds against them. They both are living legends, raised families here, and are well respected in their work, and communities. We owe these men a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.
