Honoring those who have served, sacrificed

In June of 2011, Rick and Lorie Schneider of Lysander received the news that their son, Marine Corporal Kyle Schneider had been killed in action. The Schneiders have set up a foundation to help other military families through the foundation named in their son’s honor, “The Cpl. Kyle Schneider Foundation.” Last Saturday, Armed Forces Day, the foundation hosted its annual Honor & Remember Hybrid Run/Walk 5K to honor those that have served and remember those that have sacrificed. All proceeds went to the local not-for-profit foundation, formed to carry on Cpl. Schneider’s legacy of leadership and service, with a focus on families of fallen members of the armed forces and returned heroes. For additional information visit cplkyleschneider.com.
