Doug is out of town this week but will be in this weekend. Tim & Lori, Doug and I will be doing RECON this sunday and will have staging info on this site by Monday the 11th. I've already seen folks stepping forward for carpools... great job! I think if each driver will ask for riders, then they as a carpool can decide on a meeting point. Preliminary info says Brooklyn Park for the service, plan accordingly.
As always, we will get you info as we get it.

Sgt Nicholas D. Turcotte - I think of brave young Americans like you and those you serve with whenever I see others of your, or any, generation smirk at the sight of a flag line or claim that your death was a result of something other than your courage and citizenship. We will always honor and protect your memory and keep you alive in our hearts. Thank you for your bravery and your service.

The mission for Spc. Nicholas Turcotte was moved to confirmed this afternoon after a verbal confirmation from the CAO. We also had received a request through the MN Natl Guard in which the family also requested our presence to them.
Spc. Turcotte will receive a posthumous promotion to Sgt.
No date has yet been set for the mission. The family has requested our presence at the church service. The church is just west of Hwy 169 on 93rd Ave/Hwy 30.
St Vincent De Paul Catholic Church
9100 93rd Ave N
Brooklyn Park MN 55445
The internment will be at Fort Snelling but the family has NOT requested our presence there.
This weekend we will make a visit to the church to review for the best arrangements as well as scout for a staging area.
Please keep this brave soldiers family in our hearts during this trying time. |

| I am so sorry for your loss. I now live in Alabama but grew up in Maple Grove, graduating from Osseo Sr. High. I also have a son that is 23 and it simply breaks my heart that you must endure this kind of pain. I will cry for you now but I will rejoice when you are reunited with Nicholas in heaven. May God tightly wrap his arms around you. I send you prayers and hugs but most of all love. I greatly wish I could be back home to attend this mission. ~Kim Busch |
