Gentlemen,

It is with a sad heart I write my comments for this month.

I just found out this morning we lost another Brother Bear Butler from Alabama,

 I considered Bear a personal friend and he will be greatly missed.

Please say a prayer for his family.

Also Keep Commander Stone in your prayers as we all know the situation he and his family

 are dealing with now, I'll leave it there for now.

Gentlemen


It is with a heavy heart that I pass this message along. While any loss is bad is seems especially tragic when

something happens so unexpectedly and this is no exception. I am requesting all flags to be lowered to half staff from now until

one day after his service which I understand to be Saturday. As I find out details I will forward them along.

 Please keep his family and SCV Camp members in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days.

Florida Mechanized Cavalry Supporting SCV Florida Division

 CPT Dave King called upon his Florida Mech-Cav members to volunteer for construction support in rehabbing

 the SCV Florida Division Building, located in the quaint city of Trenton. 8 members arrived, driving and riding in from

 different parts of the state, providing their craftsmanship skills and general labor help.

 It was an all day event, working diligently to prep the building for its upcoming stucco exterior face-lift.

 UDC members prepared and served all workers with an exceptionally delicious lunch.

SGT Clay Johnson even proclaimed he was going to "take home the UDC lady that made that delectable

 tasting slaw." Various pictures taken depict Mech-Cav & SCV members hard at work throughout the day.

In the group picture we have Mech-Cav members: LT Kelly Crocker (FL Div Cmdr), SGT Randy Byrd, SGT Clay Johnson,

SGT Lloyd Gilbreath, CPL Jason Montes (FL Div Adj), PVT Frank Marjenhoff, and PVT Jimmy Edwards.

Taking the picture is FOSCVMC David Fieber. Our printed sign was prepared by UDC member Laurie Knotts.

 As the sign indicates: We are all 100% in support for our Mechanized Cavalry National Leader, General Kevin Stone.

 a monument and a flag pole/flag. We have other irons in the fire as well as we try and do our part in keeping the Charge.
