We are very pleased to have been invited by the organizers and family of US Navy SEAL Brian Bill to be part of the charitable golf tournament to be held in Stamford.
This event, which will be attended by many active service members and dignitaries, will raise funds to provide a full scholarship to Norwich University in the memory of Brian.
Many will remember past missions for Navy SEAL Brian Bill. Brian was killed in action during Operation Enduring Freedom when the CH-47 Chinook helicopter in which he was riding was shot down on August 6, 2011. The crash in Wardak province, Afghanistan killed 31 United States service members, including a Navy SEAL dog. He was also a graduate of Norwich University.

Want some terrific news? I have some for you….
Â
It is with a great pleasure that I announce the OUTSTANDING results of the Chili cook off that was held recently to benefit PGR of CT and the Somers Fire Department. Drum roll please………..both Somers Fire and PGR of CT will recieve $9353.00 each! Yes, you read that right. EACH!
While there is plenty of thanks to go around, it quite frankly was a heroic effort of our own Madmike Freedman, along with his much better half, Kat, that truly exemplify the American Spirit, an unwavering passion to serve others and a real dream that all came together on this terrific two day event that will allow PGR of CT to continue to provide support to our Veterans and 1st Responders.
Â
I would also like to especially thank Sr Ride Captain Kevin Wakely for his leadership on the PGR end that directly impacted the success of this event—-thank you Sir!
I know I can speak for all three of these folks to say a giant THANK YOU to all that took time out of their schedules to help support PGR. Whether you were there all three days helping, manging the finances, judging, or just stopped by to lend a hand, we thank you all ever so much for your time and energy and we could not have done it with out you.
Â
With thanks to all and looking forward to the 2013 cook off,
