Earlier this month, President Obama signed the Clay Hunt Act into law.  It's named after a soldier and member of Team Rubicon who took his own life.  Jake Wood introduced the President and gave a heart-felt message about his fallen friend.   Wood is a PV alum, a member of our Wall of Honor, and founder of Team Rubicon.

Here is the link to the signing ceremony with video of Jake  à http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/02/12/clay-hunt-act-what-president-just-signed

Here's information about Team Rubicon.  Wood started the group, after his time in the Marines, to help bridge the gap when a disaster strikes.  They've volunteered in Haiti and during Katrina, among other disasters across the globe à http://www.teamrubiconusa.org/
