A news article posted on-line by Sgt. Kaitlin Feyma of the 364th Public Affairs Operations Center of the U.S. Army takes note of the support the Decorah community gave to Sgt. Brad Foreman, the member of the 322nd Engineering Company who died earlier this month from cancer.
Feyma's news story quotes former 322nd EN leader Captain Troy King about the special fundraiser the 322nd Engineer Company put together just one weekend before Foreman's promotion ceremony.
King noted the 322nd EN hosted a spaghetti dinner and silent auction and raised $7,400 that night for the Foremans.
The article called the fundraiser "a perfect example of an Army unit and a town taking care of soldiers as a family."
