Support a Wounded Warrior at Bethel Football Game McKenzie, Tenn. -Josh Hargis, along with members of 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, were conducting operations in Southern Afghanistan. During the operation multiple Improvised Explosive Devices were employed by the enemy. The overwhelming damage caused by the insurgents left four US Soldiers dead and a multitude of wounded. One of those casualties was Josh; who was severely wounded, losing both his legs from the knees down. In the aftermath of this tragedy Josh was transported to a military hospital where millions of people would bear witness to Josh’s “Salute Seen Around the World.” Josh is the brother-in-law of Patrick Griffith, who is a former student assistant here at Bethel. Josh and his wife Taylor are now expecting their first child. THE WARRIOR’S WALK is an event to help raise money for Josh and his family. The 222 mile Warrior Walk will start in Fort Stewart, Georgia and finish at Josh’s unit in Fort Benning, Georgia. Patrick and his wife, along with family members, his unit, and several friends will walk for warriors who are unable to make the walk themselves. The plan is to raise enough money for Josh and Taylor to get through this situation and help defray costs for things that will be needed in their future. Though we can’t change what has happened, we can change their future. We humbly ask for your support in the form of monetary donations and sponsorship of THE WARRIOR’S WALK in order to assist in their family’s transition and re-adjustment. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration. There is a table set up on the main concourse and we hope you will visit and make a donation. Please visit as well thewarriorswalk or facebook/thewarriorswalk to see how you can help.
