Friday, August 22, 2003 Soldier’s family grateful for support
DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of Mike and Carol McCarthy, they would like to thank the community of Gilroy for their overwhelming generosity and support they have received since last Friday’s article in The Dispatch. Spurred by the desire of a friend who is a veteran of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, he didn't want a fallen comrade to be alone, so he contacted the Dispatch to “get their story out.”

Thank you for helping them go to Walter Reed Hospital to see Cory. Seeing his parents will really help him get well. Thank you everyone of Gilroy.
