Navy For Moms

If there are any Navy Moms out there in the Corpus Christi area I have a Marine from our home town and 11 of his buddies that will be leaving Cherry Point, NC headed your way to attend a fallen Marine's funeral... The Marine Corps has given them the leave to attend, but they are all having to fund their own traveling, lodging, and meal expenses... As you well know our troops are not the highest paid work force and these 12 boys are scraping and traveling on a shoe string, and will most likely be sleeping at rest areas in their cars... If there is anyone reading this that has any affiliation with a group or church that would be willing to offer a meal or meals to these young men traveling to lay one of their own to rest please let me know...

Thank you so very much
Leah

Sending your post to Brenda Sue - she has a heart the size of Texas and if she is in that area I know she will want to help.

I've posted it on our Corpsmen Moms Group this morning. Who better to help out the Marines, it's what their Sailors all do every day! One of our Moms is from Texas too. Glad you've already given Brenda Sue the heads up Mary! I just love the network here. :) Have a blessed Christmas Season Leah.

I've just sent a out a mass mail to everyone I know in Corpus, and everyone who I know still has family in Corpus, many are Navy vets and Navy brats. My niece has replied, she's in Robstown, she's going to check around.

Young Marine's obit here

The funeral is in Sinton, TX, about 30 miles out of Corpus Christi on 181. Those with friends and family in Beeville, Mathis, Gregory, Port Aransas, as well as Corpus Christi, are within driving distance to Sinton.

Those in Louisana, East Texas, Mississippi, are on the path of these young Marines to offer meals, or lodging.

Leah,
Thanks for posting this info. I hope and pray that these wonderful Marines arrive safely in Corpus. We are in Central Texas, so if there's anything we can help with, please let us know. My husband is a former Marine, and I a Marine wife/Navy mom. My prayers go out to the family and loved ones of the fallen Marine. Semper Fi...

My husband is retired Navy, I'm a Army brat and I have 1 son on active duty and one leaving for boot camp on Monday. Anything we can do we will do. We are off of HWY 30. PM me and I will give you my info.

I live in Ohio, but would do anything to help, can we send gas money or something?

I live in Illinois, they won't be coming my way, but I'd love to help. I'd be willing to call a church to see if they could prepare a meal for them while in route to Texas. If this is something they'd like just give me a call. I'll pm you my number.
