Over the years, I have had the honor of getting to know Terry Hardin, Kevin Hardin’s mother. It is with heavy heart I learned that Kevin, a severely wounded warrior, passed away on January 22nd , in Killeen, Texas. Kevin fought for many years, and Terry has been a strong advocate for her son. She sacrificed so much to be there to help him.
Please keep this family in your prayers. Remember that the families serve too.
