Honored with the Prestigious 2012 Spirit of Hope Award!
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Nov. 15, 2012) Six Americans who've dedicated considerable time to U.S. service members received the 2012 Spirit of Hope Award, Nov. 15.
Included among those six are Bill Dietrich, founder and executive director of the Two Top Mountain Adaptive Sports Foundation and Carolyn Blashek, founder of Operation Gratitude.
The Spirit of Hope Award is named after entertainer Bob Hope, who served service members for decades though his work with the United Service Organizations.
"Bob Hope connected the civilian world to the uniformed world," said Surgeon General of the Army Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, during the Nov. 15 award ceremony at the Pentagon. "Today we honor those who have done their best to walk in Bob Hope's shoes, in the finest tradition of American values. We are here to recognize their love and their service to our country."
