Honorary Grand Marshals Bio |
In December, Livermore brought home from Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C. two young men and their families - our first two Sentinels of Freedom.
Sergeant Cristian Valle', his wife Blanca, and their 1 yr old son, Marshal (born at Walter Reed)
Private Justin Leon and his wife Lorena.
Cristian and Justin have future plans of finishing their college educations and saving to someday won homes in Livermore.
Livermore Sentinels of Freedom is a program to help severely injured troops successfully re-enter civilian life and the program has helped secure housing in Livermore, employment at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and on-going mentoring for Livermore's two newest sons.
Thank you gentlemen and thank you for your families for your sacrifice.
