Michael Collins Division 1 Cumberland County Pennsylvania
Brothers,
I pray that everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July Holiday.
I would like to thank Jack Dunlevy for helping to relocate items from the old Good Shepherd School to the new school. Jack and I also attended the Notre Dame Club of Gettysburg Field mass at the father Corby Statue in the Gettysburg Battlefield.
I have raffle tickets for the Notre Dame Penn State game. First prize is 2 tickets and second prize is two tickets. Raffle tickets are $20.00 each.
Next meeting is on July 10, 2007 at Straub realty. Meeting will start at 7:45 PM, arrive early and enjoy pizza and refreshments.
Do not forget the New member (volunteer) program. I believe that we have a three way tie for the prize.
Here is a poem that was in Good Shepherd Bulletin a few weeks ago:
‘TIS THE SOLDIER It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, Who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Serves beneath the flag And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows protesters to burn the flag. It is the soldier, not the politician, Who has given his blood, his body, his life, Who has given us these freedoms.
