A planned Stomp for the troops was made more personal when the husband of a “Hero to Hero” core member was seriously wounded in Mosul.
Lakewood, WA, January 8, 2004: “Hero to Hero” is firefighters, law enforcement and first responders across America, giving the shirts off their backs for our troops in the desert.
In an ongoing morale effort for the troops, the “Hero to Hero” convoy of military family members and local soldiers will be visiting Fire Departments & Police Stations from Seattle to Tacoma (and towns between) gathering the shirts off the backs of our stateside Heroes for our desert deployed Heroes.
This event took a personal turn after the Mosul incident that took the lives of six local soldiers and wounded many more. One of those wounded was Larry Kaibetoney, husband of Hero to Hero core member Chani. Larry is currently recuperating at Madigan Army Hospital, and Chani is at his side… thankful just to have him with her again.
We will hopefully never know the pain Larry and all the others have endured, all we can do is try to let them know they are supported and always in our thoughts. To this end, Hero to Hero continues its morale efforts on their behalf. To this end, we dedicate our upcoming Stomp as “Kruisin’ for Kaibetoney”. The January 15th Stomp (Bremerton ~ Olympia) will be dedicated to all affected by the Mosul incident.
