Military members and families, you do not want to miss this episode of Wisco Legacy. I spoke to Larry Jackson from the Ben Jackson Foundation (www.benjacksonfoundation.org). The foundation helps newly enlisted military members come home to see their families. The foundation was created after they lost their son, Ben. Ben served in the United States Air Force and was stationed in Japan. He tragically lost his life on base. Just seven weeks prior, Ben was able to surprise his family and come home. The Ben Jackson Foundation is helping military members and families have that same experience.
