97.3 KIRO FM’s Dave Ross hosts A Grateful Nation, a
one-hour special honoring our military and their families,
featuring moving personal stories that offers a rare
glimpse into how America honors those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice.

And help us build a Northwest Fisher House, a home away from home for
soldiers and their families.

Fisher House Foundation, which constructs comfort homes
to provide free, temporary housing to the families of
service members receiving medical care at Veterans Affairs
and military hospitals around the world, announced a
community partnership with Bonneville Seattle and partners
to help raise awareness and funds for the need for a
second Fisher House at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Tacoma,
Washington, to serve the growing number of military
families here.
