 Want to send your support to a Marine in harm's way, but have no idea of what to send, who to send it to, or how to send it?
We were forwarded an email from a military family friend who thought this would be a great humanitarian service we could perform as a unit.
If you are interested in helping out as an individual or family in addition to our unit project, please go to www.anymarine.com. This site also links with other armed services, so if you are Navy, Army, etc., you can support any of those men/women also.
The service members we have chosen are:
Former Young Marine Zachary Rosling & Sgt Chad Lining (Rct Lining's Dad)
Rosling's National Guard unit is currently serving in Iraq and Sgt Lining's Marine unit is serving in Afghanistan. Let’s show our Young Marine spirit and provide them with some great stuff!!
This is a great opportunity to serve our men and women that are deployed and to give of ourselves without remuneration.
