On Friday, December 7, 2007, Kool Radio 105 asked Brandon Burke to come to their studios to talk with him about his time in the Army. Shortly after the interview began, Brandon's parents, Tom and Dolores Burke, walked into the studio. Kool 105 announced that as part of their Christmas Wish program, there was a presentation for Brandon. AMF took the microphone and presented Brandon with a grant check to assist with modifying his manufactured home for handicap accessibility - Doug Decker of White Construction Group then offered on behalf of White Construction to modify his home. Brandon was invited to White Construction on Friday, December 14, 2007 to select samples and review design plans for his property. White Construction pledged that work would begin on his home on December 14, 2007.. AMF is seeking donations to assist with this home modification. Please stay tuned for updates on this exceptional soldier.
