| Even though Veterans are widely recognized, each individual who suffers is uniquely affected. Family and friends of loved ones who are fighting here or oversea’s are often confused and worried. It can be difficult to cope with finding a job, caring for your family, and/or living with PTSD. Today there is hope, join the fight and help raise Veteran awareness for your cause! |

| Information on Veterans Benefits | |||||||||||||||
| Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how to
file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to
obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA. Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they won't tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests. |

THE BEST person I knew. And I say that in all sincerity!
He was like a brother to my best friend Sherry. I got to know him very well through
Sherry and Tom Hatch. He hunted on the same mountain as me and we always saw each
other each hunting season. He went to my Church and was Sherry's "family". Danny
LIVED his life for God and was a wonderful person inside and out. He loved his We are trying to have a bridge in Hollidaysburg (Danny's home town) named after him in his honor. Which Danny would be totally embarrassed by. But it is the least we can do for someone who lived every day of his life doing for others. Even the way Danny died he was doing for not only all of us here but for another in his Unit. Danny not only served his Country but was also a Pennsylvania State Police Officer. I am asking that you please take a moment and sign the petition for my friend. We need a 1000 names. Thank you very much! I appreciate your help! Teresa Patterson |

Mesothelioma symptoms do not develop until this period. A mesothelioma patient's prognosis, or the probable course and outcome of a disease's influence on the body, is influenced by numerous factors. Since a mesothelioma diagnosis often occurs once the cancer has progressed to later stages of development, mesothelioma prognosis is typically poor.

| Sgt. Brad McKee to raise funding for the Wounded Warriors Program RA Marine friend of ours, Sgt. Brad McKee from Hammond, LA has taken on a mission to raise awareness of the human sacrifice for love of country by our fallen heroes and to raise funding for the Wounded Warriors Program. He has committed to train to run an ultra-marathon (100 miles) in a 24 hr. period next April in Louisiana. I assured him that I would post his info online and get it out to all my contacts. This is a very important cause and hope that all of you pass this email link to all of your contacts, as well. You can follow along on his journey and blog at: www.thedisposableheroesproject.com There is a brief excerpt near the beginning of Brad's video on his website of the rollcall at the USMC memorial service that Josh's company had at the firmbase in Fallujah, Iraq. It took place on June 15, 2005, the day following his death. The helmet, boots, and vest are also Josh's issue in the "soldier's cross" in this video. Brad has informed me that during this year of training he will also be visiting Brooks Burn Center in San Antonio, TX, as well as Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC and Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, MD where he will be spending the Christmas holiday with some of the wounded troops who do not have family with them. He is hoping to get a few famous people involved in his project to bring more attention to it's purpose. He has made it clear to me that this is a non-political mission. Some of us may make the journey to LA to run the last leg of his marathon with him in April. If anyone has any questions you can email him directly, or email me and I'll get back to you. Remember, America is the land of the free... BECAUSE of the brave! Thanks for your support. Sharon Klinger Proud mom of my Fallen Hero, LCpl. Joshua P.

| PROJECT RUSS | |||||||||||||||
| Cpl. Russell Grant Culbertson III, was killed in action in Iraq in October of 2006. In his honor and memory, his mother Denise Culbertson has started “Project RUSS,” which stands for Remember Ur Special Soldier. Mrs. Culbertson contacted the commanders of the 4th ID, B and C companies, based out of Fort Hood and asked if I could “adopt” their soldiers. This means that there are approximately 120 soldiers that need kind and caring individuals to write to them weekly and send monthly care packages. I choose these two companies because Russ was assigned to C company and his former commander is now in charge of B company. (I would love to have so many volunteers that we would have to branch out to other companies in the 4th ID) If anyone is interested in signing up for this project, please contact 412-997-8978 or email dkrgc@roadlynx.net. Please leave your name, e-mail address, and phone number so that you can be contacted and provided with the names and addresses of the soldiers and the date of deployment, which is tentatively in March of 2008. |

| We are Carol & Steve Welch a blended military family consisting of three children: Traci Morlock, Christine Welch, and Sean Anderson. We started our grief journey when our 19 year old youngest child and only son, Sean Anderson, died in an automobile accident on January 24, 1994. After our son’s death, we attended our first Bereaved Parents of the USA meeting and found a place of peace. Since our very first meeting, we knew that somehow we would try to make a difference in the grief community, and this led to our making the memorial photo buttons. At a recent national BP/USA meeting, a Marine Mom gave us her sacred picture of her handsome son in his dress uniform. When she entrusted that picture to us for a button we realized why we had been put in that place at that time: our mission was and is to Support the Troops – their families. We are retired Army (30 years) and still work for the Army as civilian servants and feel the old Army slogan “We Take Care of Our Own” now applies to all members and families of all the Armed Forces.
As our gift of love and care, we would be honored to make memory picture buttons for Families of the Fallen sending requests, as one Service Family to another. The only price would be the smile that perhaps the button(s) will bring to your face and the knowledge that your child will never be forgotten. The buttons are 2 inches in diameter with a pin back. A picture is produced and may have words overprinted on the picture. Don’t worry about the size or quality of the photograph. We can scan anything from a wallet to an 8 x 10 and often we can make repairs to faded or older photos. You may either email or mail the image/picture and the name or desired inscription. Remember that any scanned and emailed image will only be as clear as the capability of the scanner that you used. All mailed pictures will be scanned and the original will be returned with the button. Please be sure to include proper mailing information and contact information for clarification. From our Hearts to Yours, Carol and Steve Welch
