Roger Borror sits on his custom bike that he is working on in front of the stage during the 833rd Engineering Battalion Benefit Party Saturday at Bridge View Center in Ottumwa. All proceeds from the party will be going toward building the motorcycle, which will be auctioned off near Veterans Day to raise money for the families of the 833rd. Courier photo by Scott Niles.


Party benefits the 833rd

Coordinator says party is something he’s wanted to do for a couple of years

By SCOTT NILES Courier staff writer

“The most important thing they did is they came back,” said District 1 A Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education (ABATE) Coordinator Don Kirchner. “These men and women are heroes in the eyes of our community. Freedom isn’t free; it comes with a price and they fought to protect that freedom we live for.”

“I would like to make this an annual thing,” Borror said.

Borror was hoping for at least 1,000 people to attend and said that he could see that happening, and maybe even more.

“Whatever we can raise to help our troops,” he said.
