TEENAGER RAISES MONEY FOR HIS UNIT vs

A MORGAN HILL TEENAGE ARMY RESERVIST TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO RAISE MONEY ON HIS OWN, FOR HIS MILITARY UNIT. SEAN FLYNN RAISED ALMOST $3,000 IN A SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION. HIS PLAN WAS TO BUY EQUIPMENT FOR HIS UNIT, BUT WITH THE MILITARY CRITICIZED FOR NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPLYING SOME TROOPS , HIS UNIT RESPONDED BY SAYING ITS MEMBERS HAD ALL THE EQUIPMENT THEY NEEDED. FLYNN'S 10-DAY EBAY AUCTION ENDED LAST WEEK AND INCLUDED 10 ITEMS. 4 OF THEM BELONGED TO THE 18-YEAR-OLD, AND THE REST WERE DONATED. HALF THE MONEY WILL GO TO SUPPORT MOTHERS OF MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS, WHILE THE OTHER HALF WILL BUY EXTRA ITEMS SUCH AS A LAPTOP COMPUTER OR SATELLITE PHONE FOR FLYNN'S 445TH CIVIL AFFAIRS BATTALION.
