Greetings Friends, Troops, and Veterans,

As many of you already know, our SWC sponsored Victory Base Open Circle in Baghdad lost one of our own on May 11, 2006. Eclectic Wiccan Army soldier PFC Stephen P. Snowberger was a courageous and honorable young man, 18 years old; when his humvee was hit by and IED while on patrol in Baghdad. Stephen and the other occupants of the humvee were killed instantly.

Deborah Brown is creating a rock garden memorial for Stephen in the backyard of their family home. And she has sent out a request for people who would like to help honor the memory of her son this way, to please send a rock to her to place in this rock garden memorial for Stephen. She is looking for rocks from every state in the U.S., and international support is welcome and appreciated as well.

The rock you may choose to send may be of any size or shape. If possible please write on the rock the state or country which it comes from. And though not required, you are welcome to also write something to honor Stephen's memory on the rock, or an appropriate symbol, etc. Stephen's choice of emblems was the Encircled Pentacle.

Here are Deborah Brown's mailing and email addresses:

Since Stephen's death, his Mother, Deborah Brown, and I have become good friends, and she a wonderful person. She and her family have suffered this terrible loss of their youngest family member. And yet they have and continue to bear this loss with grace and dignity. Though neither Deborah, or anyone other than Stephen in their family, have ever been Wiccan/Pagan; she chooses to stand up for and honor her son's memory and his choice to be a Wiccan. Deborah has also actively pursued to honor her son, and all of our Wiccan/Pagan troops, veterans, and military families by supporting the Pentacle Quest, which we have heard in recent days has at long last been won in the courts of our nation. Deborah believes and actively supports the right of our troops and veterans to receive the religious emblems of their own choosing.

Please feel free to post this message to other groups, blogs, to friends, etc.

Stephen, we love you and will always remember you with honor and dignity. May you rest and renew in the Summerlands, until the Moon rises for you once again.

Thank You and Many Blessings to All,

Kay
