Commander Rose Sharp of Dudley Loomis Post #6 in Moscow presented a $500 check Tuesday, February 12, to Nicolas Bosse, a local veteran wounded while serving in Iraq.
Thanks to a half-million dollar grant from the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes to the national headquarters of The American Legion, the Moscow post was able to present this check to Bosse on behalf of his fellow veterans and a grateful nation.
In addition to the check, Bosse was presented with his 2008 American Legion membership card and welcomed as a new member of the American Legion and Post #6. Joining Bosse at the ceremony were his mother, Nancy, an uncle and aunt who live in Moscow, and members of the post.
Bosse is attending the University of Idaho during his recovery and rehabilitation. He has applied for a scholarship through the University's "Operation Education," the first and only all-encompassing scholarship program in the nation, providing financial, academic, and social support assistance to disabled veterans.
Members of the Moscow Post have been actively involved in the development of the "Operation Education" program, through financial contributions and volunteering various support services for veterans and their families while attending the University.
