I want to leave a message for the family and friends of Army Spc. Steve Elrod of Hope Mills NC. I drew Steve’s name today (May 20, 2010) at church. I just want to offer my prayers and appreciation for Steve’s service for our great country. Co-incidentially, event though I live in San Clemente Ca, I was born and raised in North Caroline. Quite a co-incidence.
To Steve’s family and friends; his sacrifice for our country will NEVER be forgotten.
God Bless Steve and those who knew and loved hi.
