Boston and the entire New England region exemplify patriotism and boast proud supporters of the military and first responders. Since we began this organization, our mission has never wavered and probably says it the best: Honoring Their Sacrifice, Educating Their Legacy.”
“We are excited to be a part of the launch of the Boston Chapter of Folds of Honor and continue the noble work of honoring our nation’s heroes and their families,” said Will Fulton, Boston Chapter Co-President and CEO of Dane Street LLC. “I could not be more proud to have the entire team at Dane Street lead the way in founding this chapter.”
