[Vision2020] local marine honored

[Matt Decker]

Saundra,

As far as I know, they are not or have not been members. Tom posted a site 
were people can post, and others have contacted me saying they will forward 
this info to his mother.

I figured posting on here would get the word out somehow though.

Thanks
Matt
