As you can see it was just over 30 years ago that CSB Unit 3739 was started. On Sunday March 1st, they will be celebrating 30 years of CSB. For me this is awesome to see and especially cool because of what God has been doing through Battalion in my life and others in the last 15 years. I am planning to go to Grand Forks for this Sunday to join in the celebration. If any of you guys are interested in going to support our brothers in Grand Forks let me know and maybe we can get a bunch of guys together to go.
