Nurse Chris Spiewak of Marysville, Washington and her colleagues at Providence Everett Medical Center's Colby Campus mailed a lot of goodies for her son and his mates in Delta Co. First LAR in Iraq.
Danny graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High School in 2004, enlisted in the Marines that summer, graduated from boot camp in March and was sent to the Iraq border.HeraldNet: Giving starts at home"Since October, the nurses have shipped more than 50 boxes of donated items to Danny Spiewak and the 31 other men in his platoon as they patrol the Iraqi-Syrian border.
"It brings us closer, with a gratifying feeling of helping someone who's helping you," said Sandy Olson, the floor's nursing supervisor.
The floor usually adopts a family each Christmas. This year, it seemed right to help Spiewak and his platoon, Olson said.
"We've all seen him grow up since he was a little tyke. It was nice to help somebody you know," she said.
Nurse Chris Spiewak of Marysville said she has been humbled by the outpouring."
