Friends and Wounded Warrior supporters,

We need help in finding “Wounded Warriors” that have won the Purple Heart for wounds received in Iraq and Afghanistan that are able to go on our Wounded Warrior Cruise II.

Reed (our Director) and I have sent emails to the Commander of Walter Reed AMC and to other Commands with very little results. We are offering free cabins for those selected and their spouse (or significant other).

The Cruise sails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 28 November and returns on 5 December 2009.

Transportation to the ship and returning home is at the expense of the participants and in some cases we may be able to provide some assistance.

We have contacted a lot of large government contractors and asked for support but we have not had much of a response.

***We need the names before the end of this month*** so that we can reserve the cabins.

We still need corporate sponsors and we could also use some help in selling additional Raffle Tickets which are $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00 and we still have about 2000 remaining.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as 100% of the money our organization collects goes to the program and everyone in our organization is an unpaid volunteer.

Thanking you in advance and please pass the word throughout the workplace.

Northern Ireland man caught in blast on his last day in Afghanistan

By Lesley-Anne HenryMonday, 17 August 2009

The heartbroken widow of a Northern Irish man killed in Afghanistan has spoken of her immeasurable loss.

Stuart Murray, a 40-year-old father-of-two from Ballykelly, was working for a private security company when he was caught up in an explosion in the west of the war ravaged country on Saturday.

It is believed the former Royal Fusiliers soldier had been making his way to an airport when his |vehicle convoy was ambushed by insurgents.

He had been returning home after six weeks working as a security manager in a military compound close to the city of Herat.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph from her home at Riverview Cottages in Ballykelly last night, his grief stricken widow, Sheena, said she was “devastated” by his death.
