Members of the U.S. Army Recruiting Office in North Spokane as well the 1041st Transportation Company of the Washington National Guard were at the Morning Star Boys Ranch today finishing up a project started in February by the Navy Sea-Bees.

Irwin thinks having the Army there today gives the boys the opportunity see people in the community trying to help them and gives them an opportunity to see people in their peer group giving back.

The partnership started when Irwin asked SFC Justin Musson if he and his soldiers could be involved. Musson was happy to lend a hand. Along with Capt. Jonathan Emery they brought a crew including Non-Commission Officers to take on the task of painting the newly remodeled Murphy House.
