Coast to Coast for Gold Star Families

De Jong, a U.S. Marine Corp veteran, will be driving across the U.S. to support the Woody Williams Foundation and to honor the Gold Star Families by stopping at 15-18 Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments across the country. De Jong will carry with him a portrait of Marine Woody Williams, created by yet another Marine and world famous artist, Michael G. Reagan and his Fallen Heroes Project. Over the last eighteen years Michael G. Reagan has drawn over 8,200 portraits of Fallen Heroes; those who died in service to our country. All portraits were given to the Gold Star Families, free of charge.

Funds raised will be used to further the mission to honor and serve Gold Star Families and the legacy of their Loved Ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
