District 2, of the VFW Department of South Carolina, is hosting an event to honor and remember 1LT Ryan Rawl, who was killed by a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan (2012). This event will include guest speakers: Mrs. Diane Rawl, mother of Ryan Rawl; and Les Carroll, veteran and author who facilitated over 100 "dignified transfer" (ceremony of respect and honor for the fallen). The event will be held at Lexington VFW 8738 (424 Cedarcrest Dr, Lexington).The purpose of the event is to remember 1LT Ryan Rawl, and to learn more about how our country honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice: how do we pay tribute to them, and how do we show respect to the families they left behind?
All proceeds from this event will be donated to the National Home, who assists military, veterans and their families with children, by creating a foundation of services and resources to achieve their personal and family goals. The VFW National Home provides unwavering support to military and veterans facing life's challenges: while the military makes good service members, it doesn't always equip individuals with the tools they need to become successful veterans.
