More than 20 years ago, we lost one of our classmates, Matthew Zielinski. His spirit and memory still remains strong in many of us today.  We have just recently learned that a construction project taking place at Ft Sill, OK has been approved (due mainly to the efforts of LTC Dan Karbler). Apparently, there is ongoing construction of an ADA brigade complex where the Memorial Circle will be named and dedicated in Matthew Zielinski's name.

Paul Britton and I have volunteered to act as the points of contact for all friends who may want to attend / donate money (goal of $5,000) toward the project (as Dan Karbler has just recently been deployed again).  The dedication ceremony will take place Friday, April 23, 2010 in Ft Sill.  We don't know a lot of the details yet, but are working towards finalizing them.

Many of our classmates have already shown an interest in attending, so we would like to see how many of you would be interested in holding a mini reunion / celebration in Matt's honor at/near Fort Sill in April 2010.

Please let Paul and I know if you can attend so we can determine how large of a venue to plan for.  Also, if you are interested in making any donations, please let us know.  As we mentioned, the details are a bit foggy at this point, but as we get closer, we will keep everyone in the loop.

Thanks
