Legal Update

After the very successful 4th Annual DJH Foundation Golf Tournament, it saddens us that our next news update is regarding the military appeals court decision to overturn the conviction of S. London.

Dan’s former teammates and friends from the Emerson Men’s Lacrosse Team are raising funds for the DJH Foundation.
