“I was proud to accept this award on behalf of our generous board of directors, our DCUC Credit Union and AMBA Bank Partners, and our dedicated and loyal AFFN Team Members who are inspired by the Fisher House Foundation, Fisher House Managers, and volunteers who support our U.S. Service Members, Veterans, and Military Families every day worldwide,” said John M.
