Fogarty praised for military fund

The Rhode Island National Guard is planning to honor Lt. Gov. Charles Fogarty today for establishing a special fund to help military families while their loved ones are away.

The Rhode Island Military Family Relief Fund, which Fogarty and his office have administered since 2002, has given out grants in excess of $107,000. Grants to families are based on need and capped at $2,500.

Today's ceremony is set for 1:30 p.m. at the National Guard's Command Readiness Center in Cranston. The Guard will also recognize several Rhode Island businesses for supporting their Guard employees while deployed.
