The American LaMancha Breeders Association and its members want to acknowledge and support the contribution that many of our members have made to the US Military. Currently many of our members have family members--sons, daughters, husbands, wives, grandchildren and even moms and dads--who are serving or have served in the US Military. We want to take time to honor these brave individuals and their families. The sacrifices they make can only be understood by someone who has been there.
They give of their time, they leave their families and they go into harm's way without complaint so that we may all remain free. Most will return home but some will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Following are the family members who are serving or have served in the Armed Forces. Any ALBA member who has a family member that they would like included here, please email Deb Macke, raintree.lamancha@gmail.com Please include their unit and where they served and, if they are currently serving, their address if you want to share it.
