"My job is to get my men home safely."

The Unsung Hero Fund is dedicated to carrying on the legacy of 2LT Peter Burks. Before he was killed in action on November 14, 2007 in Baghdad, Iraq, Peter encouraged family and friends to send care packages to deployed U.S. military to provide encouragement to those serving on the front lines.

​

In honor of his care for the brave men and women deployed oversees, our mission is to provide generous care packages to US soldiers.

A team of volunteers put donations together into individual care packages and determine a destination.

Care packages are sent out to deployed U.S. military all over the world.

Over the past year, the Soldiers of our unit have faced numerous challenges. Their resilience and success would not have been possible without the support of patriotic citizens and businesses like yours within our communities. Your willingness to stand with our Soldiers has had a lasting and positive impact that will not be forgotten.
