Community Purple Award
It all began with an idea.. I chose to surround myself with people who shared the same mindset and supported my crazy ideas. In all honesty, I never started SFS with the intention to win awards or be recognized, in fact, quite the opposite .. I wanted to recognize our service men and women for the sacrifices they made and continue to make long after their service to this country has ended. Because of the communities support, Swingin’ Fore Soldiers was chosen and awarded the Community Purple Award by the Iowa National Guard out of over 275 organizations.
“The Community Award recognizes a community group or faith-based organization who distinguishes themselves with outstanding and exceptional support to the service members and their families of the Iowa National Guard.”
