While Guerra has supported the organization and the athletes for the past 15 years, they have recently turned the tables and are showing support to the trooper, a Sandy Hook Elementary School first responder.

Guerra has received cards, letters, and hard-earned medals from athletes all over the country, showing him that he had not been forgotten. He had been there for them, so they were there for him.
