How to help a World War II veteran continue raising money for children

US Army veteran Francis Turner, who served during World War II, pictured at his home in Flowery Branch, on Wednesday, June 13, 2018. Turner raises money to send children of wounded or deceased veterans to Camp Corral. He wasn't able to raise money himself this year, so friends and family pitched in and helped raise the $9,600 needed for 10 children to attend the camp. - photo by David Barnes
