Christian Golczynski

Many of our servicemen and woman are giving their lives for our country and many are leaving children fatherless and motherless. Those of us in Middle Tennessee have a chance to help one young man who will grow up without his father. The BoneFish Grill in Murfreesboro is holding a fundraiser dinner to help Christian Golcynski who lost his father to enemy fire while serving our country in Iraq.

Here is more information for anyone who wants to go and help out this young man.

Marc Golczynski: what it costs

U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Marcus Andrew "Marc" Golczynski was buried in Tennessee this week. He was assigned to the Marine Forces Reserve's Third Battalion, 24th Marine Regiment, Fourth Marine Division, and was killed by enemy fire in Al Anbar Province during his second tour of duty in Iraq.
The Daily News Journal:
As 8-year-old Christian Golczynski accepted the flag from his father's casket, tears flowed freely from the mourners, and even Marine Lt. Col. Ric Thompson, who presented the flag to the boy, showed a trace of emotion.
"My Marc made the sacrifice for my freedom," said Heather Southward Golczynski, widow of the fallen Marine. "That is a debt I won't ever be able to repay."
A week before he was killed in action, the young Marine wrote this:
"I want all of you to be safe. And please don't feel bad for us. We are warriors. And as warriors have done before us, we joined this organization and are following orders because we believe that what we are doing is right. Many of us have volunteered to do this a second time due to our deep desire to finish the job we started. We fight and sometimes die so that our families don't have to. Stand beside us. Because we would do it for you. Because it is our unity that has enabled us to prosper as a nation."
This Sunday morning, take a moment to remember a fallen Marine and his family.
And all of the other men and women who have gone before.

Monell's For A Great Cause

So you like eating a good breakfast on Saturday morning! I have just the place for you to chow down on some of the best breakfast southern cooking in Nashville. A place called Monell's Restaurant in Germantown. Monell's serves all their food family style which means you go in a sit down at a large table until all the places are filled. Once the food is brought out, you can take what you want and pass to the left. All you can eat and plenty of choices!

Besides filling your belly with some of the best vittles around, I have another reason for you to head to Monell's on Saturday. The restaurant is hosting a fund-raising breakfast for Underwater Warriors Foundation. The breakfast is Saturday, June 9th from 9 am-11 am at Monell's Restaurant in Germantown, 1235 6th Ave, N.

The Underwater Warriors Foundation is a group that allows soldiers who have been injured in war a chance to experience the freedom of scuba diving. Check out the UW web site to learn more about the great things they are doing. The fundraising breakfast is in coordination with the Country Music Festival going on this week in Nashville and is open to the public.The cost is $15 each with part of the proceeds donated back to UW. In addition, a donation box will be set up all week during Fan Fair for UW donations.

If you are able to make it let me know what you think of breakfast, give a donation to the Underwater Warriors Foundation and eat a biscuit for me.
