SPECIAL INVITATION FOR ALL FRG MEMBERS


Sunday, April 17, 2005 @ 2:00 p.m at the Greeneville Armory, there will be a ceremony for the Thomason family. The Blue Star Organization is going to present Amanda Thomason with a gold star and it is expected that Gen. Hargett and Congressman Duncan will also be there to make a presentation to Amanda Thomason.

Sgt. Paul W. Thomason, III, 37, of Jefferson City, died Sunday, March 20, in Kirkuk, Iraq,
when an improvised explosive device (roadside bomb) detonated near his vehicle.

Terressa Holland with Blue Star asked that all the FRG's be invited.
Please attend if at all possible. Hope to see you there!

Rest in Peace Brother. This is not "Goodbye". Your spirit, your patriotism, your love of God, country and family and your bravery remain with us. Paul, thank you. You are our hero, our bright and shining star. Rest now Soldier. Your battle is won.
