Default Elijah Rao Memorial Fund

I did not want this information lost in the blessedly numerous pages of condolences to DHart and the family of serviceman Elijah Rao. Some forum members have asked if there was a way to help Elijah's young wife and daughter.

Edit- This thread explains what happened to Elijah:
http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-rev...nform-you.html

A memorial fund to benefit Elijah Rao's wife and daughter has been set up at First Tech Credit Union, P. O. Box 2100, Beaverton, OR 97075.

I have contacted the bank and have been advised that checks should be made payable to "Leah Rao".

Thank you for your kindness.

We find that a thread gets more visibility if it floats for a while, and later becomes a sticky.
Thank you all.
