Operation Second Chance
Last night we were honored to hear from Chris Hemwell (right), of Operation Second Chance. This organization, which Chris is helping to charter here in Michigan, supports wounded, ill and injured combat veterans and their families. Chris shared his personal story, including his time spent in Afganistan, the tragedy that befell his squad and surviving his own injuries. Chris was introduced to Operation Second Chance during his extensive recovery and is now ready to pay it forward for any and all fellow Michigan veterans. In addition to providing support and mentoring, the organization also arranges outings and retreats for the veterans, spouses and their families. Thank you, Chris and Derek (middle) for taking time to speak with our club. To learn more, visit: www.operationsecondchance.org.
