“What we give can never<br />
come close to what people<br />
who serve in the military<br />
and their families sacrifi ce<br />
for all of us. I am doing<br />
what I can to support our<br />
veterans and encourage<br />
other philanthropists to step<br />
forward to help our nation’s<br />
heroes in a time of great need.<br />
I am proud to partner with<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Sierra</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
to connect military families<br />
to the healing power of our<br />
natural heritage.”<br />
