Retired Staff Sergeant Spaulding served in the National Guard for 31 years, while serving in OIF from 2004 to 2005. During his 31 year tenure, SSG Spaulding also worked in a civilian job for 28 years at Georgia Pacific in Whiteville, NC. After having surgery and with a combination of being laid off and being unable to draw unemployment due to lack of medical clearance, the Spauldings were put in a temporary hard place. David and his wife Julia also maintain full custody of their two granddaughters. After SSG Spaulding's more than three decades of service to our country, the Heroes Fund was more than willing to assist the Spauldings with their mortgage payment as well as a few other bills to help ease the burden that was placed on them.
