Hi this is Ric the walking man of Murphys and I just want to give an
update about the money collected for our troops. On Monday another check
will be sent to Operation Mend for $150.00. I started walking in 2008
and to date I have just under 4000 miles walked and have sent a little
more than $10,000.00 to Operation Mend. The reason for this update is to
thank the wonderful people of Calaveras County for your support. The
donations and the waves show that this county is one of the best and the
people here really do support the troops. Yesterday while in Arnold two
cars stopped me and each of them gave me $20.00 for the troops. It sure
made me feel good about this great county. I have received so many
donations from people just driving by and the people who don't even know
me but heard what I am doing for the troops They have given me money
for our young men and women fighting for the freedom we enjoy today. I
believe it is important to support our troops even if you don't support
the war. Please remember through the years and wars this great country
has fought "ALL GAVE SOME AND SOME GAVE ALL." The people of Calaveras
County are the Best. 100% OF ALL MONEY RECEIVED GO TO OPERATION MEND
Thank you Ric USMC
