Project Phoenix

Miami Developer Fernando Labrada enlisted after 9/11. While preparing to go to Iraq, he gathered $8,000,000 in building materials for the country and tried to donate them for reconstruction there. Finding difficulties in getting the materials moving in the supply line, in the end he decided to pay the freight for them himself.
Now Labrada is back home, and in Iraq there stands a new police training facility built from his gift.

What a guy.
