"Whether fighting wars or winning the peace Marines, Sailors and Soldiers serve their country with courage and commitment. Sometimes that service results in catastrophic injuries."
"Since April of 2004, The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund has helped Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and their families cope with the unexpected financial hardship that occurs when family members drop everything to be at the bedside of their injured or critically ill loved one." (IMSF website)
The IMSFF’s Mission
The Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund provides financial assistance to:
* Marines injured in combat and in training
* To other service members injured while in direct support of Marine units
* To their families to help defray the expenses incurred during hospitalization, rehabilitation, and recovery.
* Cover costs associated with the purchase of specialized equipment, adapted vehicles and home modifications.
The goal is to alleviate the financial burden placed on the family so that their focus can be on their loved one’s recovery. Thanks for supporting the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund!
Raising funds is accomplished through athletic events such as the Marine Corps Marathon.(MCM)
Members of TEAM SEMPER FI will be competing in the MCM. The idea for Team Semper Fi was inspired by those wounded Marines and Sailors who refused to let their physical challenges prevent them from competing in athletic events, and whose drive and determination is inspirational to us all.
Community team members also compete and agree to raise support. In the 2008, MCM 402 athletes running for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund Team raised over $275,000.
This year I will participate as a community team member and will run the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) on 25 October, along with many other athletes.

Thanks on behalf of all of our injured warriors and their families.
God Bless You and Semper Fi

Unemployment in South Carolina hovers at 11%. Small Businesses struggle and many have closed their doors. Foreclosures or the danger of it affects home owners from all economic strata. Fortunately there are some thoughtful, forward thinking banks that want to help the situation.
First Federal Bank has actually put a moratorium on foreclosures until May 2009. So, all lenders are not without mercy.
First Federal is also stepping up to the plate and offered over 100 homeowners the opportunity to discuss their situation with counselors from the Home ownership Resource Center, a division of Charleston Family Services.
Unemployment, medical bills and bad stuff that happens to people can torpedo a homeowners best intentions to keep current with their mortgage payments. A round of applause for First Federal Bank, and the leadership of its President, A. Thomas Hood is in order.
This past weekend, Counselors discussed ways they could help homeowners negotiate with mortgage lenders and banks to get back on about 100 homers who are facing foreclosure got the opportunity to speak with counselors who were able to give them steps they could take to negotiate with their lender and banks and get back on a path which will lead to some relief fo their financial problems.
Our pace of foreclosures has been about 100 per month (Beaufort County). So, I hope that there will be more of these events because this is a problem that will continue here for some time.
