Thank You Note
'Greetings 2/11 Irvine Marine Adoption Committee,
Irvine 211 Marine Adoption Committee Act
We are parents of one of the fortunate Marines of 2/11. Fortunate in that there is a city with the heart to support our Marines in such a positive and meaningful way. Our son is the Commanding Officer of Kilo Battery (see attached) and has been a Marine for 10 years. This is the first duty station to our knowledge where the community has shown such a generous heart. Being a Viet Nam veteran I have great respect for those who sacrifice to obtain and preserve freedom for the people of this world.
We are so very grateful for you and your willingness to provide for them as you have. Having a kind word for our Marines is more than most will do, but you have gone beyond by your actions and provisions.
Thank you again and may God bless you and your families for all you do.
-Don and Darlene Pickelsimer, Powder Springs, GA'
