Our own Half Wit Anne Armitage is featured in a great story on the front page of today's State Journal-Register.Anne's nephew, R.J. Smith, is a Marine stationed in Iraq's Anbar Province. R.J. will celebrate his 21st birthday on August 26 and Anne has helped organize a fundraiser for Springfield's Marine Support Group in honor of her nephew. R.J. has also run Abe's Amble in the past.
If you see any "Birthdays in Baghdad" t-shirts at Abe's Amble tomorrow, that is Anne's handiwork in honor of R.J. Over 90 of these shirts have been sold for that fundraiser
Go read the story on the SJR website and remember that it is the folks like R.J. who have made it possible for us to freely assemble on Sunday to do things like run Abe's Amble.
From all the Half Wits, we say: "Happy Birthday R.J. We'll raise one for you and make it back safe!"
