Pay it Forward

Paul Palombi and Brian McGorty have both made wonderful contributions to the T-Shirts for Troops program. The generosity of these two NJ FMBA members is not surprising.

They answered the call when hurricane Katrina hit by sending massive contributions to Save the Children and by sending truckloads of food to the storm torn area. They also spend weeks coordinating and building a handicapped accessible playground for the children of Bay Saint Louis in Mississippi.

When I told Brian and Paul we needed some funding to send T-shirts to Quion Hall's new unit, the 504th, they volunteered to help me out. So shortly, 175 t-shirts will be send to First Sergeant Quion Hall and his troops of the 504th!



The spirit of cooperation between NJ FMBA locals, to support the Troops, is what makes the "T-Shirts for Troops" program so successful.
