'We are incredibly grateful to Bodog for their compassion and generosity,' said Vice President of the Fisher House Foundation, James Weiskopf. 'We hope that the weekend will bring added attention to the Fisher House Foundation and the military families that we support.'

Bodog online casino fans can be proud of their favorite online gambling site as they, too, salute the brave men and women who serve the USA.
