A new baby has arrived in Stephen Snowberger's family!
And is named after his late uncle.

I am pleased to tell you that even though PFC Snowberger's Mother, Deborah Brown, is not Wiccan herself;
she has been an active supporter of the freedoms all of our Pagan Troops and Veterans
should have regarding their chosen religions and chosen emblems for their grave and memorial markers.
