SAN DIEGO COUNTY, California — In a proud annual tradition that truly embodies the spirit of the season and our nation’s deep-rooted patriotism, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, CBS 8 along with San Diego iHeart Media stations are helping to raise funds to fly our ill and injured troops Home for the Holidays!
Tune in to CBS 8 all morning on Thursday, November 14 for live coverage with the Warrior Foundation.
America’s military men and women represent the best of our nation. For those who are injured while serving our country, and face the challenges of recovery, rehabilitation and the transition to civilian life, there is no greater gift than to return home to their families for this special time of year.
Funds raised by the Give-a-Thon will enable thousands of ill and injured service members to leave the hospital and go home for Christmas. While it seems like a simple gesture, a trip home has a priceless impact on Warriors’ morale and recovery, and the military families who love them. At its heart, sending our Warriors “Home for the Holidays” is a gesture of gratitude for the men and women who have served, sacrificed, and are now learning how to overcome both visible and invisible injuries.
