The Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial was founded by local veterans who wanted to honor the men and women in the state of Ohio that have paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The memorial remembers those military members who have fallen since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Please visit their website to honor those from Ohio who have lost their lives in the War on Terror.

The Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Foundation is teaming up with the Chapel Hill Hallmark in order to ship 20 recordable “The Night before Christmas” books to our troops overseas. The troops will record themselves reading the story and then they will be shipped back to their children so that they can hear their parent’s voice during the holiday season. If you are interested in this program, please contact your local Hallmark store by the end of August.
We would like to thank all participants, the Roses Run staff and all the volunteers that made the first Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Golf Outing a success. It was a fun filled day that involved great food, great prizes and a prestige golf course. All of the money raised will go directly to the Foundation to help the military families and personnel that sacrifice so much. Please join us in the future for other exciting events.
Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of Staff Sgt. James Hunter of the U.S. Army. Staff Sgt. Hunter was killed last week in Afghanistan by an enemy bomb. He is a 2003 graduate of Firelands High School in Oberlin, OH. James served two tours in Iraq prior to his tour in Afghanistan. He is a true hero and warrior and his sacrifice for our freedom will never be forgotten. The Cpl. Joseph A. Tomci Foundation will do all that we can to support the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Hunter through these tough times. Please read the following article to learn more, http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2010/06/21/news/mj2919278.txt.
