Fallen Marine’s Family To Provide Free Christmas Meals For Elderly, Disabled
December 1, 2011
The Bratt family of a Marine killed in action earlier this year is giving back to the community at Christmas through a program they are calling “Operation Enduring Loss”.
The family of LCpl. Travis M. Nelson will prepare and deliver Christmas meals to homebound elderly and disabled individuals that have no means of transportation and will be home alone on Christmas Day. The family will prepare 70 meals at no cost for delivery in the Bratt community and Atmore.
Due to the limited number of meals, reservations are required. Call (251) 253-8511 or email xmasdinner13@gmail.com and provide the individual’s name, age, phone and address, along with at least on person of contact to verify eligibility.
LCpl. Nelson was killed in action August 18 while serving in Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

What a wonderful way to remember a Fallen Hero! Thankyou for being so kind and thoughtful to those in need!
I am proud to say that your whole family is precious!! I thank God for you and your family. God bless you for blessing others. You both are a great example to your daughter and it reflects in class. If you need help serving, you know where to find me
Military Order of The Purple Heart would like to help if you need us. Thank you, Chapter 566, Commander Eustice Shiver
That’s a very nice thing to do. I know how often I wished there was someone to do something like that for my grandmother when she was homebound.
I am sure if they need some help from the community, folks will jump at the chance to be a part of remembering LCpl Nelson.
Kudos to you, Nelson family – for ALL of your sacrifice and giving for the good of the county and country.
Lord bless these good people.
