Title: If you could vote and help this Veteran
Post by: Teresa Heilevang on April 29, 2013, 01:29:03 PM: I got this from Randy Pierce , who is a freind of mine. He is also a Shriner and Mason. And he and his wife both carry and are staunch supporters of gun rights. Just read it please and vote if you would.. No cost.. just 30 seconds of your time each day for a week or so..
Thanks you guys!! you are the best! :-*

First of all, let me apologize for sending out a mass email. I normally would never do this, but this is an exceptional situation. I was just made aware of this yesterday, so I’m trying to get this out to everyone I know and this is obviously the easiest way (along with Facebook).

Here’s the deal. A friend of mine, Terry Benson, is in need of your help.

Many of you know that I am a Mason and a Shriner. That’s where I met and how I know Terry. Terry is a member of the Legion of Honor at Median and he is a Marine who has had a rough go of it over the past 17 months. He’s undergone multiple amputations which has left him with both legs amputated above the knees. His health is not good enough to make him a candidate for prosthetic legs. He is currently in the VA Hospital in Wichita, KS.

The contest I am promoting for him and asking for your help with is through NMedia and is located at http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/terry-benson-wichita-ks/ .

If you go to that site, you’ll be able to read his story.

Terry is a very special person and you can help him by simply voting for him. There is absolutely NO COST to you.

All you have to do is go to http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/terry-benson-wichita-ks/ every day from every device you have and vote for Terry.

I’m asking that you go there EVERY DAY from now to May 10th and vote with every device you have.

After May 10th, I’m pretty sure you’ll likely get a little bit of advertising from NMedia. It will be easy to get rid of. Just press delete or unsubscribe. I think it’s a pretty easy way to “work the system” for Terry’s benefit.

Again, please go to http://www.mobilityawarenessmonth.com/entrant/terry-benson-wichita-ks/ every day from every device you have and vote for Terry.

If I have offended anyone, in any way, by this – I am very, very sorry and I apologize for that. I just felt that this is important enough to intrude upon your life for a few seconds and ask of you this favor for my friend, my fraternity brother, and an American Hero.

Please, if you can find it in your heart to just take a couple of minutes every day for the next 10 days to vote for Terry, you have my thanks and gratitude for helping another fellow human being and patriot who has given so much for this country.

Thanks again – I look forward to seeing those votes add up for him.!
