Coatesville resident in military service

Coatesville resident Kathryn L. Mannion is far from home. The 24-year-old Marine is a Lance Cpl. currently serving with the female engagement team with the 3rd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment in Afghanistan.

The Daily Local will have the chance to speak with Lance Cpl. Mannion in the near future. Do you have any questions for her? What would you like to know about a member of your community who is serving overseas?

I would like you to please say Thank You from us. It is a big sacrifice to serve our country, and we appreciate it!!!

Is there a pen pal service to match up service people with people here?

I know Katy and she belongs to the FET (female engagement team). They are working as a bridge between the Afghan people and the US. There work with the women and children is incredible. It's the first time this has been done and the women who are involved do an amazing job in very difficult circumstances. We are proud of you Katy.

Ask Katy what she and her team members need that we could send over.
