On Friday July 23rd the documentary released by National Geographics (RESTREPO) in theaters across the country revealed the truth on the war in Afghanistan. My Fiancee and I sat with Marcela Pardo mother and Gloria Pardo grandmother of fallen US Army soldier Juan Sebastian Restrepo. We had never experienced nor witnessed the pain of a mother and grandmother on this magnitude before but were honored to sit beside them both.
On behalf of all of our sponsors and who believe in (Paying it Forward), we will be hosting a formal dinner at Monserrate at 2093 Coral Way, Coral Gables, FL 33145 telephone 305-856-8525 in honor of a true hero Juan Sebastian Restrepo who was killed in the line of fire. At this dinner scheduled for the end of August will be present both mother and grandmother of the fallen soldier.
I implore our sponsors to help us raise $1500.00 for this dinner event expense to honor someone who fought for all of our freedom and paid with his life. Many pillars from the community and armed forces will be attending, including the press and The US Ambassador to Colombia where the soldier was born. Please feel free to contact me directly should you wish to participate and contribute to such a great cause. Please visit the movie trailer at: http://www.restrepothemovie.com/
To the men who were on OP Restrepo with Juan Sebastian, Please urgently contact me directly, We would be honored for you to meet his Mother and Grandmother at his dinner.
That was awesome you being beside "Restrepo's" family at the theater.....It is great also regarding the dinner, raising funds and bringing awareness to brave, fallen soldiers like Juan Sebastian Restrepo.....it would have been nice while he was alive but it brings comfort to the family none the less.....I hope your dinner event bring many sponsors.....it would also be very wonderful if the soldiers who knew and worked alongside Juan were able to attend in his honor..theirs too...we have some really good soldiers out there...I hope this war will ease up soon...it breaks my heart seeing them murdered like that...
So long....Clare
