NEWSWEEK FEATURES LYNCH RESCUE - Dip And Donate This Weekend

(04/10/2003)
Newsweek has Pfc. Jessica Lynch on their cover this week. Details of the rescue included. Click Jessica's Liberation

Since hundreds of newspapers, TV and radio stations and other media outlets are detailing the story, we will not likely re-publish the information.

Thousands have clicked to The Herald, extra hits, since many of the search engines had the link on their first pages last week, mostly because we reported about her early on.

We have received many e-mails asking for directions, wanting an address or asking how to deliver supplies for her homecoming. Other notes were from church groups, wanting to know what congregations are in Wirt County, or just letting everyone know she has been the object of thousands of prayer meetings.

The Herald will cover, from a local view, her homecoming to Wirt County.

A fund-raising dinner, called the "Dip-N-Donate" is scheduled at Camp Barbe this weekend, and a trust fund has been set up for the family's needs.

Donations may be sent to:
