TAMPA - Retired Navy Capt. Robert J. Silah recently presented a plaque to Sheriff David Gee for support offered by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office to the active-duty wounded and injured at the James A. Haley VA Medical Center. Silah is president of the Tampa Military Officers Association of America and chairman of Operation Helping Hand, a special project of the Tampa chapter of the MOAA.

The organization has provided more than $225,000 in cash and $500,000 in goods to the wounded and injured and their families.

Donations may be sent to MOAA Operation Helping Hand, P.O. Box 6383, MacDill Air Force Base FL 33608-0383.
