WWII Veteran Corporal Donald Graves to speak at Annual Golf Tournament & Fundraiser Lunch


We are honored to have special guest speaker Corporal Donald Graves, who served in the United States Marine Corps during WWII, join us for our Annual Golf Tournament & Fundraiser Lunch. Graves fought and survived the battle of Iwo Jima (February 19 - March 26, 1945) and served in the 5th Marine Division, 2nd Battalion, 28th Marine Regiment, D Company. We would like to thank him in advance for sharing his historic experience. Because of his sacrifice, we are able to continue to educate future scholarship recipients about the important lessons of this iconic war. We also want to thank Roll Call of North Texas for connecting us with this very impressive veteran. Read more about our guest speaker by clicking the button below.

"Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle.

We will accept nothing less than full victory!

Good luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."
