Every first Wednesday morning of the month, 1210WPHT shines a spotlight on one outstanding local veteran, in partnership with the Travis Manion Foundation, celebrating their remarkable commitment to community service and their exceptional service in the military.  Presented by Window Nation, for all of your window and door needs, visitWindowNation.com This May, we are honoring Retired Marine Corps Veteran, Colonel Tom Manion and his exemplary contribution to the Veteran Community. Travis’s father and founder of TMF. Col. Tom Manion started his career in the Marine Corps – retiring after 30 years asa Colonel. Besides his military career, Tom joined Johnson & Johnson in 1990 and through the years held various leadership roles before retiring in 2014 after 23 years. Tom is the father of 1stLt. Travis Manion. Travis was a Marine leader who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country in April 2007. After the loss of Travis, the family established the Travis Manion Foundation to support our military, the families of the fallen and to help create the next generation of leaders. Through the Foundation, Tom has worked within the community and around the country to inspire people around him, to convey a sense of sacrifice and public service in all they do. Tom’s late wife, founder and visionary of the Travis Manion Foundation, Janet Manion, passed away April 24, 2012, devoting every day to putting service above self. Tom is also the co-author of the recently released book, “Brothers Forever”, the story about the friendship, service and sacrifice between Travis and his Naval Academy roommate LT (SEAL)Brendan Looney.
