Supporting the Troops

It's an effort that now includes plenty of private initiatives.

(Page 2 of 2)

IN THE COURSE of founding and growing the Legacy Fund, Trovato made a sacrifice of his own -- his hockey career. After graduating from Massachusetts, he bounced around to three different minor league teams before retiring on his own accord.

"I'd be doing board meetings on the team bus in California," Trovato recalled. "But my trustees were fantastic at keeping it together.

"I knew I wasn't going to make it big in hockey," Trovato admitted. "As I thought more about my goals and what was at stake, I knew I had to make a choice." He finally decided to continue what he'd started.

"When the Fund started, we were responsible for 20 kids. Now it's up near 50," he explained. "That's telling as to what's at stake -- and how much work there is to be done."

Support Our Wounded Warriors, Veterans and more specifically Service Disabled Veteran Owned Businesses. To do this we have recently started Veterans Directory at VeteransDirectory.com. Veterans Directory is a directory of over 5000 other service disabled veteran owned small businesses that deserve our support. Another great 501(c)(3) helping get veterans jobs is Hire Patriots.
