PITTSBURGH, PA (July 31, 2018) -- In conjunction with Leadership League, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rocky Bleier announced today that he is releasing a special edition of his classic book Fighting Back. He also announced that proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit three military veterans groups -- Veterans Leadership, Joint Training Facility and Legacies Alive -- through a new campaign called Fighting Back for Veterans.
JTF has been operating in the area for about 3 years now. The owners, Ronda and Michael, are not originally from the local area. We choose to move to this area after doing our time, living and working in the DC Area for over 10 years. We were both Federal Government Employees who, after family losses, decided our life needed to change.
The Summer Festival season is in full swing and JTF is happy to be a part of it. On June 23rd, JTF participated, for the first time, at the 3rd Annual Beer, Wine, and Music Festival supporting the Allegany County Animal Shelter. A little rain tried to spoil the fun but didn't keep away the participants from a great event.
On 7 June 2018, JTF celebrated the end of the school year with the students and staff at Bel Air Elementary in Cumberland, Maryland. The Bel Air PTO sponsored the event for the kids.
