The official opening of the headquarters of the Folds of Honor Foundation missed the nation's 234th birthday by a few days, but the patriotism and generosity of those who helped make it possible did not go unnoticed.

The nonprofit Folds of Honor Foundation was founded in 2007 to provide scholarships to the families of service members disabled or killed as a result of military service. The foundation has funded more than 1,300 scholarships so far.
The headquarters sits on land donated by the Tulsa-based Oxley Foundation. The site also is home to one of Oklahoma's newest and one of its finest golf courses, the Patriot Golf Club, just east of Owasso.
The Folds of Honor and the golf course were dreams of Maj. Dan Rooney, a pro golfer and F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard, but that dream was made reality by many people and companies.
Members of the Oklahoma chapter of the Associated Builders and Contractors, based in Broken Arrow, donated at least $850,000 worth of manpower and materials to build the $1.3 million structure.
General contractors Crossland Construction Co. Inc., Flintco Inc., Key Construction and L.D. Kerns Contractors Inc., along with several specialty contractors, helped build the 3,600-square-foot headquarters building.
Rooney's dream is coming true. With the help of a lot of friends. It's a good way to begin our country's 235th year.

ABC TAKES ACTION TO HALT THE ASSAULT ON SMALL BUSINESSES
ABCs Free Enterprise Alliance April 6 launched a national campaign, Halt the Assault, which is dedicated to championing the interests of small business owners and to ending government intrusion into the free market economy.

The Halt the Assault campaign will focus on the issues affecting small businesses across the country: jobs, the economy and intrusive government regulations that inhibit growth.

Since the vast majority of ABC member companies are considered small businesses, it only makes sense for us to seize upon this opportunity and make our voice heard on these very important issues, said Chris Singerling, ABC director of political affairs.

ABC members that want to take immediate action to Halt the Assault on their business can sign a postcard to send to President Obama and members of Congress and can add the Halt the Assault web sticker to their website. Business owners and employees who would like to be even more involved can become a fan on Facebook and follow the Halt the Assault Twitter account, view the latest videos on the YouTube site, and get the word out to their business community.
