Hey there, our family friend Damian is recently stationed with the Marine Corps in Okinawa, Japan and would love to come home to surprise visit his mom here in Taneytown.

The price of plane tickets makes that a hard task for him to accomplish. I would love to make this happen for him and his family since the hope of these visits is what keeps our soldiers' morale high when they are so far apart from loved ones. If you're willing and able to help bring him home, please consider donating whatever you can.

He DOES NOT know this is a possibility; he would probably say, “it’s no big deal, I’ll figure it out,” so if you talk to him, please keep it to yourself for now :)
