America’s landmen honored the late President George H.W. Bush during the annual NAPE Charities Luncheon on Feb. 14 with a $1 million donation given in his name to the NAPE Expo Charities Fund to continue its mission of honoring veterans.
The donation will be distributed in $100,000 increments over the next 10 years in Bush’s name to veterans charities selected by the NAPE Operators Committee.
“We are touched by the generosity of these landmen and their support of the veterans organizations that will benefit from this donation,” said Jim Devlin, CPL, chairman of NAPE Operators Committee, who received the check on behalf of the NAPE Charities Fund on Feb. 14. “Their donation will impact the deserving veterans community for many years to come.”
