A REAL AMERICAN HERO  Sgt. Todd Keys ,

Last night Nov.17/09 we had the honor of bringing on board for our sunset sail the 3rd brigade 25th infantry 2-27th unit the “WOLF PACK”. Among them Specialist Brendan Morocco with his family, the only soldier from Iraq to survive a mass of fatal injuries including the violent loss of both arms and both legs and the parents of Corporal Michael J. Anaya one of the packs fallen heroes.

Now let me give you a little history. In the spring of 2008 my daughter Paulina then 13 was in the sunset beach Christian elementary schools adopt a soldier program. To better acquaint the kids & soldiers Megan Keys a teacher and wife of soldier Sgt. Todd Keys suggested we all go on the boat for an unforgettable snorkel picnic sail up to the three tables reef reserve. Great idea! So off we went. The bonding that went on was far more than expected even the fun loving Principal Bob Prasser did a few cannon balls off the port beam. After our afternoon sail the kids & soldiers kept in touch through all the ups and downs tragedies and triumphs. So for me to be able to give a hug to the parents of fallen hero Corporal Anaya and look Specialist Morocco in the eyes and express as best I can the gratitude I have for their sacrifice they have made so I can live the envious free lifestyle that we love so much.

So thank you Sunset Beach Christian School, Megan & Sgt. Todd Keys, Brendon and all the soldiers and family of the “WOLF PACK” all of us at North Shore Cat.
