Larry Jackson President of Ben Jackson Foundation. Larry is a proud Navy Veteran oversees this incredible Wisconsin based organization. Larry's Son Ben was just 20 years old serving in the United States Air Force when he was killed in a freak accident on the Misawa Air Base in Japan. Just weeks before his death, he had the unique opportunity to surprise his family and friends in New Glarus, Wisconsin, with his first visit home in 14 months. Then the Ben Jackson Foundation was established with the sole purpose to recognize the sacrifice newly enlisted members of the military have chosen to make and to provide financial support to help them visit home from their first permanent duty station.
