Combat-wounded Marine Staff Sergeant (Ret.) Joey Jones co-hosted the event, and Gold Star Widow Ginger Gilbert Ravella recalled losing her husband, Major Troy Gilbert, an Air Force F-16 pilot, who was tragically killed while saving the lives of more than 20 Special Operations soldiers during Operation Iraqi Freedom. More than $1 million was raised to support the organization's mission of helping ensure American special operations forces and their families receive the support they need to effectively carry out their operations, keep their families intact, and lead healthy and productive lives after they have left our nation's service.
