I would also like to ask for your prayers for our soldier, Capt. Bruno de Solenni of Crescent City.  Everyone I have talked with said Bruno was the best soldier and person anyone could ever know.  Several Red Shirts attended his funeral on October 4. There was such an outpouring of support from all over that everyone could not fit into the church for services.  Many people had to stand outside on the lawn or across the street in another building; 3rd street in Crescent City was lined with flags.  The Red Shirts supported Bruno for a time during his service in harm’s way. 

Let us rededicate ourselves as supporters of our troops to continue to do our best to help our soldiers and our veterans.

This year our Christmas program is called:  A Major League Christmas for the troops.  We would like to invite all the people and community groups of Brookings-Harbor to help us make this a wonderful Christmas for our soldiers in harm’s  way. You can donate either goods or money to help us mail and purchase needed items.  Please go to our website, www.brookings-harbor-redshirts.org to help, check the contacts page.
