Final Push for USMA 1970 Mine Detection Dog


The Class of 1970 Executive Committee would like members of our class to strongly consider making a tax deductible donation to help complete the fund raising for our Class Mine Detection Dog (MDD).  Please see the note below from Classmate Perry Baltimore on the status of classmate efforts to fund a Class of 1970 Mine Detection Dog – let’s put the effort over the top with a final push!

“First a big “THANK YOU” to the 34 classmates who so far have contributed $15,700 toward our $25,000 goal to sponsor a lifesaving mine detection dog (MDD) that will represent our USMA Class of 1970 for years to come and serve on battlefields scarred with dangerous explosives.  

Another big “THANK YOU” to all others in the class who are willing to help us, but haven’t yet had a chance to contribute. Doing so now would be most appreciated, so that our 1970 Class donation to the Marshall Legacy Institute (which has deployed over 200 valuable dogs to severely contaminated countries) will coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War.

Our Class Dog, in helping to clear landmines and save lives in a war-torn country, will honor our four classmates (Robert Brown, Richard Green, Mike Minor and Howard Steinfeld) who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

Again, no contribution is too large or small. You can send cash or check (all tax-deductible) to the Marshall Legacy Institute, 2425 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 240, Arlington, VA 22025, or donate online at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/mli

Please be sure to answer “Please direct my donation to:”

Thanks!
