Returning Reservist Gets Gift

Army Reservist Jake Gepford was greeted with a special credit union gift when he returned home from Iraq last week-a special package with gift cards and other goodies, courtesy of the staff at Security FCU. The credit union employees didn't know Gepford, but were prompted to pitch in when one staffer suggested during the holidays that they "adopt" a soldier. The gesture resulted in an outpouring of support over Christmas when the credit union employees sent Gepford a package of snacks, disposable cameras, Christmas cards and money. Last week's gesture was a "Welcome Home" box. Now that Gepford is home, the credit union staff is looking for another soldier to adopt for Easter.
