On Thursday, Nov. 14, the Ford Motor Co., through its Ford Veterans Network Group, commemorated Veterans Day with a program at its headquarters in Dearborn.
One of the special events was the presentation of the Governor’s Volunteer Award to Ford’s Barbara Grasso (second from right) for her initiative: Americans Thank Our Troops/Operation Afghanistan/Iraq PAC.
The Oakland County Bar Association’s Veterans Committee has contributed to Grasso’s initiative which now has a volunteer group of nearly 500, with nearly 60 separate organizations joining in partnership of fund-raising, collecting, packaging, and sending care packages to thousands of military members in the Middle East.
On hand for the award presentation were (left to right) Ford Group Vice President and General Counsel David Leitch, executive chair for the Ford Veterans Network Group; Bloomfield Hills attorney Michael Schloff of the OCBA Veterans Committee; and retired Judge Fred Mester.
