What's In This Issue?

CEO Message

In this newsletter we'd like to draw your attention to a very worthwhile cause. Below is a letter submitted by Jesse Roe, a resident and business owner in Sussex County.

I have a son going to Iraq this summer. I was able to afford to buy State of the Art Body Armor for his protection. Unfortunately, there are many parents that are not able to afford this Body Armor.

My son's outfit has 24 Marines. Two parents, including myself, have purchased this Armor. Five others have been sponsored. The families of all the Marines in the unit have banded together to raise the additional money for the other 17 Marines.

The military has body armor available, but it's heavy and not state of the art. There is a company that sells body armor called Dragon Skin. That is what we have chosen for our sons. We need to raise $102,000 to outfit these 17 Marines. It's approximately $6000 per Marine.

Any and all donations are welcome.

For more information please call 973-579-1982.
