Brian Clum knows the feeling of being deployed away from home during and after the Christmas holidays.
“I’ve been deployed twice. I know what it’s like after the holidays. It’s a long period,” said Clum. “I want soldiers to know that they are thought of and appreciated.”
As a retired 31-year armed services veteran, the owner of 3 Brothers Family Pizza decided to do something about it.
This winter he and his wife, Kelly, started an organization called Friends of 1-145 AR RGT (EIN 84-3584886).
That’s a long title that translates in support of their son’s (Corp. Matthew Clum, Ada HS graduate) battalion currently deployed overseas.
