"Sgt. Grit" ~ As a Gold Star Mother, I am asking for your assistance in spreading the word to as many Marines as possible regarding a memorial event to honor my son, SSgt. Christopher Zimmerman, USMC, who was killed September 2006 while on patrol with 2d Recon Bn. in Zaidon, Iraq.
This year is the first year that we, as Chris' family, have assisted in holding the Zimmerman Reconnaissance Challenge in Austin, Texas.
It would do my heart proud to have 200 or more Marines accept this Challenge, to assist us in making a donation to the Marine Executive Association to assist Marines transitioning from military to civilian life.
Even though Chris is no longer with us, we honor his sacrifice by finding a way to make something good come from his death.
He was a Marine's Marine, and he would accept no less.
Thank you for everything that Sgt. Grit contributes to the USMC community.
Always faithful,
Faith Zimmerman
Proud Gold Star Mother of SSgt. Christopher M. Zimmerman, USMC
This nation will remain the Land of the Free Only so long as it is the Home of the Brave. --Elmer Davis
