Country Music Artist Keni Thomas Awarded with "Spirit of the Warrior Award" by Special Operations Warrior Foundation
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) June 16, 2007 -- Country music artist Keni Thomas was presented with the Special Operations Warrior Foundation's "Spirit of the Warrior Award" at the 2nd Annual Salute to Special Operations Forces Dinner, June 7.
Some 400 guests at the Tampa dinner, including Army Rangers who participated in conflicts throughout history, including World War II, the Korean conflict, Vietnam and Operation Iraqi Freedom, along with other senior special operations leaders, watched the former Army Ranger receive the award.
The "Spirit of the Warrior Award" is presented to individuals who have made a significant impact on the special operations community, their families and the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides full college scholarships, not loans, to the children of fallen Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps special operations personnel.
"Keni Thomas has taken volunteerism to its highest levels. For the past five years, Keni has led the way in actively taking care of our warriors and their families," said John T. Carney, Jr., President, Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
Thomas was an Army Ranger and a member of the Task Force Ranger assault team in the now-famous battle in Somalia, 1993, which has been depicted in the motion picture and book, "Black Hawk Down." Thomas has been a significant donor as well as a national spokesperson for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. He promotes awareness of the Foundation through his website, his music sales and his speaking engagements.
"Through his words and actions, Keni exemplifies in all ways the Warrior Spirit and we are honored to present to him the "Spirit of the Warrior Award" for his unwavering support of America's Special Operations Forces and their families," said Carney.
For more than 27 years, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation has served members of the Special Operations community, which includes members of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. The foundation is committed to providing college scholarship grants, not loans, as well as educational and family counseling to more than 700 children of fallen warriors.
