Honoring WWII Heroes and Supporting Local Charities at the Bataan Memorial Death March!

Steve Loso from TWU 591 and Wayne Tipton from TWU 556 embarked on a remarkable journey this past March at the Bataan Memorial Death March. They marched a grueling 26.2 miles, carrying a 35-pound rucksack each, paying tribute to the WWII soldiers who endured unimaginable hardships as prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.

But it doesn’t stop there! This incredible event also serves a noble purpose by supporting local charities, including those assisting the homeless, food banks, and families in need. Hats off to Steve, Wayne, and all the participants who are making a difference both in honoring our heroes and in uplifting the lives of those who require a helping hand.

We pay tribute to a man who has touched so many lives as a father, brother, veteran, and friend. Kirk was a proud Air Force veteran; member of TWU Local 252 Veterans Committee, and an inspirational member of the TWU International Veterans Committee.

Kirk touched so many with his smile, kindness, patience and understanding. He will forever live in our hearts and continue to inspire those who knew him. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

Hello all,

We just wanted to update everyone in regard to Trevor Reed. Tony McCoy reached out to Chris Kiernan, our chairperson, on the morning Trevor Reed was released. Chris shared with the committee that, Tony wanted to thank the committee for all it has done with getting the information out there. On a recent conference call, Tony again wanted to thank everyone that was involved with helping in getting Trevor home. For Tony and his wife this story has a personal connection. Tony’s family as well as the Reed family are overjoyed with the release of Trevor and his safe return home. As of today, Trevor is in San Antonio getting medical attention that is needed. He has been reunited with his family. Tony has asked to keep Trevor and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers. Tony will continue to update us on his progress.

Please see the statement below.

Our committee would like to thank those whom took the time out to help with the cause and to help our committee.
Thank you from all the members of TWU International Veterans Committee.

Charlana Bilodeau
