As you read this our country is in a war with terrorist who seek to destroy us. It is a war and without our defenders, we would be in even greater peril. Our Armed Forces are fighting this war overseas to keep it from happening in our back yard.
Welcome to the Wall of Honor. This page is dedicated to honor those men and women who serve our nation in the U. S. Armed Forces. If you have sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, cousins, parents, friends or neighbors that are serving our country in the U. S. Armed Forces, please send us a digital photo of them, their names, rank, branch of service and your name as sponsor and we will post that information on this page on our website.
We invite those who visit this page to pray for the safety and success of those pictured and honored here, as they strive to protect us and bring freedom to others.
I can’t help but think there are others in the skeet comunity that feel the way I do and will want to participate in this effort. If you do, please send digital photos and information to us at publisher@redchutegazette.com.
Most Sincerely,
Doug Frey
