Project: Home For a Hero

Last year MTCOA members voted to support Project: Home For a Hero with the assistance and participation of the ICC Foundation.   The Project has launched for Veteran Kevin Downs in Kingston Springs, Cheatham County. 
 
Kevin was badly burned, lost both legs and  most of the use in one arm in a road side bomb. (Read the details) (Link takes you off this site)  The rest of his team were killed.  Kevin navigates with an electronic wheel chair and is working hard to be independent in his home.

From Dale Graham
I am happy to report that our new South Cheatham Advocate Newspaper website is up and more and more is being put there everyday. If you go to www.SCAdvocate.com you will see a link on the Home Page to Kevin’s Story. Once there click on “Bringing Home a Hero” and you will be taken to the most recent updates on this beautiful effort.  After selecting this link, on the resulting page, look to the lower left little more than half way down and select "Kevin's Story."  Don't miss the additional pages with more photos and news story archives available relevant to "Kevin's Story."  See the links at the top of that page.
