Bicycle Trip

John Beard

I am in the need of help from members of 1st Recon Bn. association. In Sept I will be taking a 2 day 250 mile round-trip bicycle ride with my youngest daughter Jacque(16 months Iraq with 32nd MP Company from Milwaukee) from Milwaukee to Wisconsin Dells and back. We will be getting sponsors to donate $25 to our PRF(Packages From Home)project so we can send packages to members in the military stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan. As former members of the military, you all know what it is like to receive a package from home. We plan to send out about 100 boxes so that will be there between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I ask that those who can to try and get at least ten names and addresses of military personnel serving in this area. Please send by e-mail or give to me at the reunion in Denver. We want to have names from as many different states as possible. If you only have one name please forward to me at jabeard@sbcglobal.net Thanks for any help and I hope to see you all in Denver.
