The 2011 Ranger Run for Fort Hood Fisher House will kick off at 10:30 a.m. April 2, 2011 at Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial Park. Previously known as the Combat 5K, the 2011 Ranger Run for Fort Hood Fisher House provides three different participation opportunities: A one-mile Family Fun Run, a 5K and a 10K. This year's event proceeds will be donated to the Fort Hood Fisher House at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center; as well as help support the construction of a new Fisher House at the Audie L. Murphy VA Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, with assistance from local defense contractor, BMI Defense Systems.  

The Ranger Run will feature military vehicles such as the M1 Abrams Battle Tank and ­­­­ the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, along with thirty soldiers from Fort Hood, an Apache Helicopter from Conroe, the Aggie Band, Reveille Corporal, Corps Yell Leaders, the Fish Drill Team, and the General Ramirez, Commandant of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets. There will be photograph opportunities with Reveille; as well as General Ramirez. Preregistration for the 5K and 10K is $20/participant; and includes a runner t-shirt and finisher's coin. For the Family Fun Run, the fee is $20/family and will include a bib with the respective family name.

Bill O'Reilly:

One of the most heartbreaking things for me when I visit wounded troops is seeing their families try to cope with their injuries. As you may remember Colonel Hunt, Geraldo and I went to Walter Reed hospital last December and there were scores of little kids in the hospital because that's where their dads and moms were.

I can't tell you how painful it is for the families of our wounded service people to watch the life-altering situation their loved ones are in.

So after consulting with President Obama we have decided to help the Fisher House charity. This fine organization provides housing and other benefits for the families of our wounded warriors the feds cannot afford to house the families so we must do it.

Therefore, we are offering this historical document my notes from the recent presidential interview in return for donation to Fisher House. President Obama signed the original copy and I will sign all of the ones that we are making available so you'll get my original signature and President Obama's facsimile.

The donation is $500. It is tax deductible. I know it's a heavy cost but we are hoping to raise an enormous amount of money to help the families of our severely wounded military people.

So if you go to BillOReilly.com, we have a link to the Fisher House. It's easy - you just click on over there and they will handle the rest.

Again this is a unique piece of history and it will provide a great amount of relief to our wounded military people and their families.

By the way one of the reasons that I continue to do The Factor is because I can do things like this with your help we can make life easier for those who are suffering after protecting us. So please check it out and I thank you in advance.
