Veterans Making a Difference!

Greg and Dan talk with Rick Otey and Ken Lawhorn, both veterans and members of the Fist Bumpers, about the organization Rick started 10 years ago. The Fist Bumpers bring veterans and community members into local schools to greet students with fist bumps, encouragement, and positive interaction as they begin their day. They discuss how much the students look forward to seeing them and why those small moments of connection can make such a difference. They also reflect on their own military service and announce an exciting project for September 2027, when the organization plans to bring the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall, a roughly 280-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., to the area!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
