A Very Special Event

by Cadet on Thu Aug 05, 2010 9:53 am
Last night members of the Ohio Garrison from all over the state attended a private screening of Episode III: Revenge of the Sith for a very special young man, Sam Bish, a brave 9 year old boy who has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. In October, Sam's right leg was amputated to stop the spreading, however, the latest scan showed that the cancer has spread throughout his entire body. The Ohio Garrison was on hand last night to give Sam a memorable and special experience with his favorite movie.

Thank You.

Good evening troops, I just realized I have not posted a news entry since the end of the first ever Ohio Garrison Election for CO. I basically wanted to thank everyone for their support, in electing myself CO and I will do all that I can to help this group grow in the coming months. I also wanted to remind all who may be interested, to apply for the Ohio Garrison's Command Staff openings. Please be sure to hurry to the Members section and post interest as there is still time, but we will be making selections this weekend.
