Former naval aviator and game show host, Bob Barker, helped a service organization make up the last 3 million bucks in it’s struggle to raise money to help warriors suffering from brain injuries and for the new construction at Bethesda Naval Hospital;<\/p>\n
Bill White, president of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, got on the phone with Barker. The two spoke for 40 minutes about Barker’s service experiences and the difficulty of raising money in a recession, White said.<\/p>\n
Barker, 84, said he was motivated to make the donation because of his naval service and his desire to help people in his retirement. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Barker just went up a few points in my estimation. If more of those Hollywood types would pry open their wallets and give back to real causes instead of just the culturally popular causes, maybe people would take them more seriously. <\/p>\n
