BOSTON STRONG
Good Afternoon All and a Special Message from our New England Regional Posts!The Society of American Military Engineers Boston (MA), Narragansett Bay (RI), and Piscataqua (NH/ME) Posts which make up the SAME New England Region, were deeply impacted by the events on Monday, April 15, 2013 at the Boston Marathon. Some members were impacted directly, and many more have extended family or friends who were impacted in some way by this terrible tragedy.
However, as our motto says, we are "BOSTON STRONG", and we are doing what we do when things get difficult; moving forward, helping those that need help, and growing even stronger.
Many of our local and regional SAME members know and do business with Bill Richard with EST Associates, of Needham, MA, whose young son was tragically killed, and whose wife and daughter were severely injured. In addition to extending our thoughts and prayers to the entire Richard family, members of the Boston, Piscataqua and Narragansett Posts have been exploring additional ways in which we can assist the family in their recovery.
The New England Posts became aware of a fund that was established in coordination with the family, and to show our support, we are providing a combined donation of $5,000 to the fund. We are bringing this to your attention and encourage other Posts, Member Firms, and individuals, regardless of their affiliation with SAME, to donate to this worthy cause. A link to the fund, which accepts online donations, is provided below:
