This is Why I Belong with Team Rubicon

Listen to 80-year-old Navy veteran and Texan Hal Reed describe his service in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

Harold “Hal” Reed’s boots were among the first on the ground when Team Rubicon began the Hurricane Harvey relief effort in Texas.

Hal is a 80-year-old Navy veteran and resident of Denton, TX, who describes a heart-wrenching reality for many Texans affected by the flooding. He also shares why he belongs with an organization created to help. Give it a listen. It’s well worth 93 seconds of your time.
