Marine & Family Honored by Great AK Lumberjack

I wanted to let the Ketchikan community know how generous the The Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show has been again to visitors to Ketchikan.

A few days ago a young Marine who just returned from deployment to Afghanistan, his wife, and in-laws were in Ketchikan for the day. Rob Scheer, Erin, Shauna Lee, and all the staff at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show, in appreciation of and to honor his service to our country treated him and his family to a wonderful performance.

This fine young man will be deploying again in the near future to Iraq. The memories that he and his family will have of Ketchikan will be very positive and happy ones.
