Vet’s Roll Youth Leadership Project
Shane Hutter, Newark Pioneers 4-H
My leadership project this year is some-
thing very special to me. I am trying to
raise enough money to send at least one
WWII Vet on the VetsRoll II trip to
Washington DC to see their monuments. I
am doing this in memory of my Grandfa-
ther, Wayne Hutter, who served in WWII
(Navy) and passed away on May 10, 2009 on
Mothers Day. I am also doing this in honor
of all my family members past and present,
such as my Uncle Sgt. Richard Stanek who
has served 17 years in the army and has
done 3 years in Iraq and in June will be
heading there for a 4th deployment. Vets-
Roll is sponsored by Finnegan's RV in South
Beloit.
I am looking for any contributions big or
small to help reach my goal of at least
$600.00 (will pay for one vet to go on this
trip and of course more would be awe-
some). Also I am keeping track of contri-
butions given in memory or honor of a vet
for my project. Please help me reach my
goal by contacting me at 362-5171, if you
are willing to help.
Thank you everyone in advance. We are
loosing our vets at a rate of 1,000 a day,
so please lets try to get as many as we can
out to Washington. Think of all the sacri-
fices our vets have given for us so we may
be free and live the way we do today.
Never take our freedom for granted.
Thousands of brave soldiers gave their
lives for us, this is just one small thing we
can do to honor those who gave for us.
