We will also be welcoming home two Heroes that have served with Daniel in Iraq and are visiting with The Krebs family:

U.S. Army Specialist Chris Gunter
U.S. Army Specialist John Frick

About Specialist Daniel Krebs:

• Specialist Daniel Krebs, 23 years old, in the 77th Sustainment Brigade Unit at Fort Dix, coming home from his first deployment in Iraq
• He is a Combat Medic and trained at Ft. Sam Houston in Texas
• He has received the Combat Medical Badge and the Army Commendation Medal.
• Daniel has been a Cherry Hill resident for most of life. He graduated from Cherry Hill High School West in 2006.
• He continued his education at Camden County College and Rutgers.
• He plans to further his education in the medical field upon his return home.
• His maternal Grandfather(Harold McCay) was a big inspiration to his military enlistment.
• His Grandfather told him that the military wasn’t just about war and defending your country, it was about discipline, respect, encouragement, and an extended family.
• When my Daniel’s Grandfather had his accident, it was serious enough to warrant his return home and Daniel’s Mother Colleen couldn’t reach him for a day and a half, so she enlisted the help of the American Red Cross.
• There was a miraculous chain of events that had occurred which enabled Daniel to return home in time to say goodbye to his Grandfather.
• Daniel’s Grandfather served in the Marine Corp.
• Additionally, two of his Grandfather’s Brothers (Dan’s great Uncles Earl Bartlett and Alfred McCay) served in WWII and the Korean wars.
• Mother Colleen’s Sister’s Fiancé, Stacy Powell, is also a Marine. He was also deployed to Iraq twice. (We are hoping Mr. Powell will be in attendance as well so he too can get his long deserved WELCOME HOME greeting)

Mother Colleen, Father Mike, Brother Michael, and Sister Meghan anxiously wait for Daniel’s return, along with other family and friends and would be honored to have everyone join us to welcome Daniel home loudly.

Friends, Family, The Warriors Watch, A Hero’s Welcome, The Yellow Ribbon Club, The New Jersey State Police, The Cherry Hill Police Department, The Cherry Hill Fire Department, Cherry Hill Township and others will be on hand to make some noise and welcome home this Hero in Rock Star style.

Hope to see you there.
