Brett Witteveen was a member of our USMC League her in Oceana county in Michigan. Were lining the streets tomorrow to pay our repects as his remains pass thru our small town. From what I have been told, he wanted to serve his country. I met him at one of our meetings. Very nice young man. At the end of our meeting we all wished him well and would be praying for him. Our small community is taking it hard. Alot of his classmates are hurting. But we will be there for them.
