Food Check-Out Week celebrated

DeWitt CFB donated $400 to Bluebonnet Youth Ranch in recognition of Food Check-Out Week. At the presentation were (l-r) Tommy Wenzel, Al Janak, Kim Reeves of Bluebonnet Youth Ranch and DeWitt CFB President Robert Nagel. Bluebonnet Youth Ranch is a nonprofit provider of residential care for dependent children. At the beginning of February, Bluebonnet Youth Ranch had 24 residents and a monthly grocery bill of close to $3,000. DWCFB is proud to help with part of this grocery bill for the week of Feb. 19-25.

The inspiration for the purchase and installation of the flag is the sacrifice, heroism and determination of our United States of America servicemen and women, during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. (See the list at http://www.iraqwarheroes.com/)
An aluminum container with the names of all involved in the flagpole erection was placed in the flag pole base. After the flag pole was erected, we thanked God for the privilege of being Americans, for our troops, their families and their sacrifice for our great nation. A memorial rock base and plaque will be installed prior to the dedication ceremony.
