NY: The SSG Michael Ollis First Annual 5K Run/Walk in Staten Island

P-SFUK     25 maja, 2017

PSFCU is a proud sponsor of the The SSG Michael Ollis First Annual 5K Run/Walk in Staten ISland, New York!

During an attack on a base in Ghazni, (August 28, 2013), Staff Sergeant (SSG) Michael H. Ollis shielded a Polish officer, Second Lieutenant Karol Cierpica, thereby saving his life. On November 12, 2013 during the ceremony at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York SSG Ollis was posthumously decorated with the “Afghanistan Star” and the “Polish Armed Forces Gold Medal.” This act of valor constitutes an ultimate manifestation of Brotherhood in Arms, which binds Polish and American soldiers in their fight against terrorism. Two medals were presented to Michael H. Ollis’ parents, Robert and Linda.

Don't miss this opportunity to show your support for our veterans and commemorate a great American hero on Sunday, June 11! You can sign up for the race at OllisRace.Eventbrite.com
