One of our readers sends word of a thoroughly kickass charity that you absolutely must need-to certainly-should support if you’re in the Jersey area:
The SGT Sam Nutter Organization, INC. is a registered non-profit organization administered by the Officer Candidate School of the New Jersey Army National Guard. SNO was established in the memory of Sergeant Sam Nutter.OUR MISSION: The Sam Nutter Organization was created with the purpose of raising funds in order to benefit National Guard families in need. Each year, the proceeds of the organization are donated to an Army National Guard beneficiary.
Sgt. Nutter a demolition expert and a diver in the EOD unit attached to a Navy SEAL team, who –after 9/11– decided to get back in the game. Unfortunately, he contracted cancer, and died before he could pin on his LT bars.
So on Saturday, 14 June of this year, locals will be honoring Sgt. Nutter with a memorial run. I know we have a lot of DC, NY, and general eastern seaboard readers… so if anyone can attend and maybe snap some photos for us to post, that’d be great.
VMI men: the Jersey guard is Ryan Doltz’s old unit, so please lend a hand if you’re local.
John – thx for the post – i have no excuse for not being there and i am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the Guard and those who currrently serve. I’ll pass the word on too.
