SGT Keith McKenzie’s Military Suits Return

Donation protected
Hi everyone my name is Donna Parker, I’m from Lexington KY. About a year and a half back I stumbled across two Military suits, one was fully decorated. This led me on a mission to find the owner of the suits. It took a lot of investigation to learn what little I could in the beginning…. Without releasing personal information I can say that I learned the suits had connection with a woman named Crystal McKenzie with an address in Elizabethtown KY. Finding this out got a spark in me….. I spent money doing background checks, hours, weeks, months, a year, now almost two years searching with no luck. Every association with he name provided no good info ever. I was Feeling lost as every number, every address…. Nothing. I made so many attempts on Social Media and displays at car shows, thank you to everyone that shared. Yesterday alone the post was shared like 30 times which is huge to me!!!! Someone commented “check all the tags yesterday”, so I did. In the green suit I found written on the tag a “KM”, it reminded me that during one of my searches a “Keith McKenzie” name came up as someone associated with Crystal. I stopped What I was doing and googled SGT Keith McKenzie and BAAM Just like that I found him. Unfortunately, I found his obituary, he left behind two you g beautiful children after he took his own life struggling with PTSD and issues from being deployed two times to Afghanistan. SGT Keith McKenzie June 26, 1985- February 5, 2018 was 32 when he passed away. His children Kayla and Keith deserve to ha e these suits! I ended up finding Crystal on Facebook and we talked forever telling each other the story of how our paths have crossed. We cried, we laughed, we bonded. At that point it became my new mission to not only give these suits to SGT McKenzie’s family but to deliver them to his children in person. The family lives in Waco Texas and I need to take these suits to them.
I am asking for anyone that can please help me take these suits home to SGT McKenzies family. I learned his children have nothing of him From the Military, the need to have these suits. Thank you all so much.
