TeufelHunden has made me aware of a memorial fund set up for the following:

"The purpose of the fund is to raise money towards the cost of flying Ruth Ann Morrow, Nomad's lovely wife, out to the presentation of the custom rifle created for NOMAD to George and Ruth Anne's son Miguel."

I believe this is a very worthwhile fund. If you would like to contribute to the fund you may go here:

...Here's some more information...

**All funds will be used strictly for this. In the event there are any moneys left after covering the cost for the ceremony and Ruth Ann's travel, they will be held in the fund and used to assist other Marine Corps organizations or events in what little way they can.

**An accounting of the funds can and will be provided upon request from the folks who set it up.

**Ruth Ann will be traveling from Washington, DC to San Diego if that helps in understanding the costs involved.

**Tentative Itinerary - Arriving San Diego on 5Sep (Thursday), presenting rifle on 6Sep (Friday), George's final send off on 7Sep (Saturday), Ruth Ann returning to VA on 8Sep (Sunday).

I'll try to keep y'all abreast of information as it becomes available.

Leatherneck.com is in no way affiliated with this fund or presentation. The fund was brought to my attention via another Marine on this board. I posted the information about the fund per that Marines request. I do believe it is going towards a good cause and would like to make folks aware of it. I know many people who knew Nomad on this site would want to know about this fund.

...Drop me an e-mail or PM me & I'll shoot you the snail mail address where you can send cash/check.

For anyone else who may have a problem with me requesting that the folks in the leatherneck.com head shed ad the link to the PayPal account for the members here, for what I feel is an appropriate way to show our support and appreciation for a departed brother Marine's family - your beef is with me!!! Drop me an e-mail and I'll give you my telephone number and we can talk about it - Marine to Marine.

Hi Dane,

We here at leatherneck have nothing to do with the fund. We posted it here as a courtsey. Did this because a lot of members here knew Nomad.

I am sending you a PM with names of Marines to contact and their addy's.

Sempers,

Roger

It looks like the fund is being supported but not by very many people. This seems like a something that needs more help. Please give them a hand by sending a donation today. Yes I did, by snail mail.
