I know one thing: however that raffle works out, that daughter of SFC Smiths shouldn't EVER have to worry about how she's going to get her way paid through college.
But it sure would be nice if she got to keep her daddy's bike, too....

Thanks.

SAMwolf, do you still have the picture of the two cav troopers with the 35 star guidon flag. Could you post it here? He went to war with the Cavalry so I figure this picture would be a fitting tribute.
Thanks

The Marines have a fund to ensure that children of Marines get a good shot at an education. They recently expanded the scope to the other services to ensure their kids have an opportunity as well.

Marines have long held an honoured tradition of taking care of their own. That they would extend that obligation of their Corps to those of their brother services only adds to the prestige and respect earned by Marines over their 225-year-plus tradition of doing things the Marine way.
If you and the other FReeper Marines would take it upon yourself to begin spreading the story of SFC Smith and his daughter among your fellow Marines and former Marines, you'd be a part of that effort, particularly if it gets directly or indirectly to the attention of those who care for and administer the fund you described. The Sergeant Major of the USMC would seem to be another likely starting place.
The Marine motto of Semper Fidelis was never better realized or put into practice.
I know better than to try to lead or direct Marines. You point them at an objective and give them the tools they need, and get out of their way.
Have at it, Marines.

Here in Milledgeville, GA, they just had a Fishermen for Our Heroes Rally last Saturday. It was a fishing tournament, raffle, fundraiser solely for raising education money for the 3rd ID kids whose parent was killed in Iraq. All the money went to it. They expected to raise over $40,000. Let me see if I can find the amount the raised...
