Cpl Jon Schumacher Volunteer Day and Key Ceremony Images

I had the opportunity to check out the volunteer day happenings this past October 18th for Cpl John Schumacher, one of our Homes For Our Troops home recipients. My family and I met John and his wife at the ground breaking ceremony back in February, and we have followed his home build progress since the ground breaking. I have a few images to share of his new home, sorry for the lateness. But the Key Ceremony below last this page are fresh, we just got back an hour ago from another fantastic ceremony, I come away from these always with a new perspective on life, these events are my gut check, they let me know where I stand, and what should be important in my life. So here are some images of Cpl John Schumacher and the family's new home, it's a beaut! It sits on about 2 acres of land in a very nice area of our county.

The following images are from the October 18th Volunteer Day.

A few images of their new home, what a neat place, HFOT really knocked it out of the park with this one.

Now on to the Key Ceremony, I Love these, we get to hear some great speakers, and we get to hear from the family themselves. We also get to tour the home, and shake hands with the family. Here are a few images of tonight's key ceremony.

Image below is a picture of my daughters high school club "The Patriot Tigers". She created the club last year during her sophomore year to help veterans around our county and she and her club are participating in HFOT events as well. This is a portion of her club, our daughter is girl farthest away in image, in white shirt, great job daughter! We are very proud of you and your club! I escorted them to the event tonight so they could help out, break down chairs, serve cake, etc, and they got to shake hands with John Schumacher, always the highlight of any event, meeting the troop.

Thank you for sharing our evening, we had a great time, tomorrow morning we are heading out at the crack of dawn to another event, we get to help land scape Cpl Carlos Garcia's new home! I'll have pics tomorrow.
