Build A Home for a Staten Island Hero

SPC BRENDAN MARROCCOof Huguenot, 23, was severely injured early on Easter Sunday in 2009 while returning to base after a night mission. Brendan’s vehicle sustained a direct hit by an Explosive Fired Projectile (EFP)resulting in permanent and life changing injuries. He had joined the U.S. Army on January 15th, 2008. The Staten Island Academy graduate survived the explosion but each of his badly damaged limbs required amputation. Marrocco is a quadruple amputee undergoing rehabilitation at Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington D.C.

Far from any conflict where I am stationned, I want to honor your courage and express how much I respect you and what you represent for this world: Generosity, Bravery, and Hope for a better world to come. So it's a little I can give but I hope it will help. Thank you "

Tom Stein	$100.00	"Brendan, I read your story reminds me of The Law of Faith from a great book called "The Laws of Spirit" This chapter talks about the delicate and vulnerable field flower. Its life if short and tenuous. A careless football, a dry winter or pounding rain can make a life-and-death difference to a delicate blossom. And yet, each morning it opens wide to capture the sun. You are an inspiration to me. I can only imagine the amount of faith you have generated out of this experience to over come the new challenges that you did not face prior to that day on easter 2009. Thank you for your bravery, sacrifice, courage and now for the inspiration that you provide. You are a true hero, one that decided to act rather than react or just talk about acting. God Bless you and your family. I am excited to follow you on your new journey! Love Tom "
