Army Sgt Neil Duncan

I was over at Andi's World and came across a post about Sgt Neil Duncan, who was severely injured in Afghanistan (12/05). An IED blasted the humvee he was in and he lost both legs, shattered his jaw, broke his elbow and hand and received multiple shrapnel wounds. After 14 months in Walter Reed and 20 surgeries, plus therapy, he is going home to Maple Grove, MN.
He hopes to buy a house to refit it for his needs and there is a benefit to help raise money for this purpose.

On April 21, 2007, from 2:00 - 6:00, there will be a benefit held to help raise funds so that Neil can purchase and adapt a home and an automobile.

As Neil will be coming home to Minnesota, his friends and family want to give him a proper welcome home and help him financially as he starts his new life as an independent person. A homecoming benefit to honor Neil and to express our sincere appreciation for his sacrifice and commitment to our country will be held. This benefit will include a silent auction, raffle, and cash donations as well as a chance for people to meet our hero. All proceeds will be used to help Neil build an independent life adapted to his specific needs - a handicap accessible house, a vehicle with adaptive equipment, etc.

The benefit will be held at the following address:

American Legion Post #172
260 4th Avenue SE
(Hwy. 169 & Cty. Rd. 81)
Osseo, Minnesota 55369
