On October 16, 2008...Sgt. John Penich was KIA in Afghanistan. John's main goal when he was deployed was taking care of his guys. His family started the Sgt. John M. Penich Memorial charity to continue taking care of our Men and Women in the United States Military. A few of the things that we do are sending "spoiling you" care packages to our deployed Heroes, we have completed a project at the Union Grove Veterans Home in Union Grove, WI to help make the lives of our elderly Veterans a little more enjoyable, and we have also sponsored the adoption and training of service dogs for 18 Veterans that have been diagnosed with PTSD/TBI.
