Help a cadet get to West Point

My cadet commander at San Gorgonio High School, a truly amazing 11th-grader named Brittany Contreras, has been selected to attend the West Point Summer Leaders Seminar -- a prestigious weeklong program for rising seniors held at the U.S. Military Academy. She is scheduled to report to West Point on 14 June 2008.

The round-trip airfare from Ontario, Calif., the airport nearest her home, and Newark, N.J., the airport from which West Point is providing shuttle service for the students attending the seminar, will run about $500. Please consider a small donation to help her family defray that cost. There is a "Donate" button at the upper right corner of this blog for your convenience.

Thank you for your support!
