I will never be able to forget those moments, the image of a young man i never met, who gave something that most in our great land will never, ever be able to comprehend. May god be with his family and his wife. Rest assured that his memory will live on!" Comment On Article....Author Unknown |

Some may find these words surprising due to the sometimes misunderstood nature of missionary work, but these are but a few of the words one could use to describe the six youth missionaries that have descended upon Copperopolis for the summer as guests of the Copper Canyon Baptist Church....

Copperopolis, CA....After working for over a year coordinating with the VFW headquarters in Kansas City and working with Sacramento the very first meeting for the formation of a VFW Post in Copperopolis was held on June 13, 2010. This date holds special meaning to me, for it was my son’s 22 birthday, which he was celebrating in Afghanistan with the rest of 3/7 India Company of the United States Marine Corps.

Ebbett's Pass Fire personnel helped a local veteran who wishes to remain anonymous hang a huge American Flag in the Bristol's Parking Lot in Arnold. He stayed with and illuminated the Flag last night in honor of Gavin. The Ebbett's Pass Veterans Association has also placed their Flags along Hwy 4 in Brummund's honor. An eloquently worded sign in front of the Flag says it all..

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 06/12/2010 04:19 PM
