Heroes Welcoming Heroes, Free Shakespeare, Rock-n-roll Playdate, and Ryan White Program Cuts WYSO Weekend 7-18-2010 In this July 18th edition of WYSO Weekend we are introduced to Senior Airmen Tre Porfirio who last week received a Purple Heart. On Nov. 21 2009 Airmen Porfirio was shot 3 times by Afghan insurgents. He received his Purple Heart during Heroes Welcoming Heroes, a ceremony celebrating not only those who sacrifice their lives overseas, but their families who also make sacrifices at home.
