Dear Patriots,

Many of you know my good friend Bill Uzenski. If you don't, Bill is a Marine Veteran, and a Gold Star Father to Nick Uzenski, a Marine Recon Sniper that was killed in action on January 11th, 2010. Tragedy has struck this amazing family again. Yesterday Bill and his wife Rebekah were fortunate to escape their house with their other children as a fire raged uncontrollably. Bill ran back into the house, trying to save the items that belonged to his fallen son, and was only able to retrieve the flag that was presented to them at his funeral. All photos, uniforms, medals, and childhood possessions were lost.

Now Bill and his family once again have to figure out how to survive after a devastating event. They fled the house with only the clothes on their backs, some of which were only pajamas.

I'm asking everyone to please step forward and do what you can help this family…if all you can do is spread the word, then I thank you. Bill has done so much to help others. He has taken his grief of the loss of his son and together with Country singer Stephanie Quayle turned his loss into beautiful music that comforts and aids so many others. He's been traveling around the country performing at military bases and Gold Star Events, and now it's our turn to help him.

He has a need for everything and anything. Clothing is very important, as is food. You can google "uzenski" and "fire" and you see the photos and the story on it. Most of the folks on this email have met Bill and know him. If you're not able to help materially, a simple phone call with words of encouragement will go along way. If anyone wants a number where they can call Bill, please let me know and I'll provide it.
