A little about Team Copperhead 2nd PLT...

Cindy's Baking Angels is grateful for Danielle Truesdell's assistance in referring her son for our Angel support this month. Our Angels are looking forward to supporting Olan and his Brothers! Thank you again.

Danielle writes, "We are from Southern Ohio. My son, Lance Corporal Olan Truesdell, has talked about becoming a Marine since he was very young. He enlisted the summer before his senior year and participated in the Delayed Enlistment Program throughout his senior year.

He went to Boot Camp at Parris Island, South Carolina, the summer after graduation. He then attended School of Infantry at Camp Geiger, North Carolina. His MOS is 0311, Infantry Rifleman. He hit the Fleet in February of 2023 and married his high school sweetheart, Asha, in September. He is part of the 24th MEU."

 

Danielle adds, "This last picture is of Olan and my father, a Vietnam War Veteran at a Vietnam Memorial event. My father died about six months before Olan started Boot Camp. His name was Lafe, and my son’s name is Olan Lafe Truesdell. That photo was like an eternal connection and a prediction of the future. ❤️"

Thank you again, Danielle, for sharing Olan and his Brothers with us! We'll take very good care of them.
