A good friend
It’s been ten years since the Iraq war started and it’s been a
little over eight years since my friend Jason Timmerman died in Iraq. Jason and
I went to college at Dakota State University and we both studied math. I saw
Jason pretty much every day at college, we were always in the same classes and
he was very active around campus.
Jason became a teacher and taught high school math for a while
before he was eventually deployed. He was killed in February 2005 by a roadside
bomb. It’s very sad for me to think about losing a great leader and teacher
like Jason. Remembering those we have lost can be a great inspiration and Jason
has been one for me.
I’m excited to announce that this year we will award the Jason Timmerman
Memorial Scholarship at Dakota State University. This scholarship will go to a
student who is working toward a Math Education major. I wanted to ask my
friends if you would help with a donation to remember Jason and the many others
who have sacrificed for our country. The scholarship is just starting up and it
would mean a lot to me if you would consider helping us out.
