GILFORD — Camp Resilience recently received $40,000 from a Granite State Vietnam Veterans’ Foundation, Inc funding award.
“To quote Arthur J. Balfour’s Great Contemporaries, ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’ This unexpected funding from GSVVF continues to give back to our wonderful veteran community, supporting our living heroes fighting battles beyond the uniform,” Executive Director Jeff Ladieu said. “We are deeply appreciative of this heartfelt donation.”
Funding from the Granite State Vietnam Veterans Foundation stemmed from long-term investments made by Founding Chair Leon “Buzz” Gagney. Gagney began quietly investing in 1997 to support worthy veteran service organizations in New Hampshire.
Gagney served three tours in Vietnam as a crew chief door gunner with the 136th Assault Helicopter Company, United States Army. He was wounded in action and received the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Army Air Medal. After his discharge in 1970, he continued his education and earned a degree in accounting.
