Contributions made in memory of Mark Burke will support disabled veterans of the Iraq and other wars through Achilles' Freedom Team. The "Freedom Team" sponsors disabled veterans and helps them participate in mainstream athletic events. Mark enlisted with the United States Army as a patriotic duty during peacetime, and was a Paratrooper in the Elite 82nd Airborne Division for three years. He was patriotic and would love this worthy cause.
