RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

Rangers Lead The Way!

SFC Cory Remsburg is a true American hero and an inspiration. Through programs like our Wounded Ranger Assistance Program and our Ranger Recovery Program, Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund has been able to support Cory and his incredible family throughout his entire recovery and rehabilitation efforts.

As long as our Special Operations Rangers and their families are in this global war on terrorism, we will be there to support them.

On this Memorial Day weekend we honor the life of Sgt. James J. Regan and ALL of the men and women in our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedom that our Nation cherishes. We will never forget these brave soldiers who have given their lives for our country and may we never forget the soldiers who continue to fight for our freedom every day.

In the words of President John F. Kennedy – “Every generation of Americans must be expected to do their part to maintain freedom for their country and freedom for those associated with it…there is no final victory in a difficult and dangerous world.”

We would also like to thank you, our Patriotic supporters. Your continued support of the Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund helps to ease some of the tremendous burden that our Special Operations Rangers and their families bare.

God Bless America!

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
