2/25 Memorial

Jan- 4-2009 » Filed Under: 2/25 SBCT

The Neighborhood Star has a nice story about the spouse of a deployed 2/25 SBCT soldier who is working to create a memorial for the brigade's fallen soldiers.

Elizabeth Severin has lived without her husband for a year since he was deployed to Iraq.

While he tends to the wounded as a medic, Severin has found a way to contribute to the cause back home in Hawaii - the 2/25 Stryker Brigade Combat Team Memorial Association. The group is hard at work designing a memorial for the brigade's fallen, which will be unveiled this summer. [...]

When the brigade's memorial association approached Severin this summer about joining the board, she jumped at the chance. Severin designed the group's Web site, www.warriormemorial.com, and she's been hard at work planning fundraisers to reach the memorial association's $45,000 goal.

"I personally wouldn't be able to go over to Iraq, so this is one of the most important ways I can contribute," she said.
