In a joint effort spearheaded by Commander Jim Erskine and Jay Campbell, President of the Auxiliary Sue Barros, SAL Commander Kirk Von Glahn and President of the Legion Riders Kevin Corris, Brick Post 348 made an unprecedented donation to a deploying Marine Sniper Unit. Jay became aware of the needs of these 32 deploying soldiers after having courted them to join our wonderful Post. Weeks later, the force of a strong and motivated Post Team came together and we were able to offer a gift to these brave departing Marine Snipers. This gift could save their lives, as they face off against a dangerous enemy in a terror bound region. The surprise gift was given to the Marines on August 1, 2010 at Post 348. Thanks to Ed McBride for capturing the moment. Read more...
