The Texas Sentinels Foundation Scholarship was created to benefit qualified members of the U.S. Armed Forces severely injured in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001. The program helps them readjust to civilian life and prosper in their hometowns or new communities.
Through their personal sacrifice and heroic dedication, we enjoy the freedoms and security of this great nation. The Texas Sentinels Foundation is an opportunity for all citizens to help create a better life for wounded veterans and their families. It's an opportunity to say 'Thank YOU.'
The Collin County Association of Realtors works closely with The Texas Sentinels. We are sponsoring Sergeant Justin Feagan of Collin County. He is only 23 years old and is married and has a 3 year old little son. He was raised in Collin County and will return here after his recovery. He was initially deployed to Iraq for 15 months. Afterward he was deployed to Afghanistan as a newly pinned Sergeant and was wounded in 2010 while serving as the head of an Afghan Border Police Unit. Then he was hit by an IED that cost him his left foot, the loss of his left ear drum, several broken bones and numerous deep shrapnel lacerations including one to his femoral artery. He is still receiving medical treatment but will be released hopefully in August.
The Feagin Family 5K Fun Run & Walk will benefit Sgt. Feagin and his family. Our goal is to provide a nice home for them to move into when he returns to Collin County next month. He also intends to enroll in college, since he has to Medically Retire from the military. Please come and join us at the Feagin Fun Run! He left part of his body in Afghanistan for us and we want to take care of our soldiers who gave so much for us here in Collin County.
