US Army 1st Lt. Brian Brennan, a 23 year old Howell resident and graduate of Howell high School, was severely injured on May 7th, 2008 from an attack while leading a patrol in Afghanistan.
Brian had been in Afghanistan for only two months when the IED exploded under the Humvee he and four others were traveling in. Brian was one of only two to survive, but he suffered severe injuries. Brian was found in cardiac arrest. He was transferred to a field hospital, where it was found that he had sustained an acute brain injury, a collapsed lung, internal bleeding, a ruptured spleen, multiple compound fractures in his arm, and a shattered femur bone. Both of his legs had to be amputated.
The Brennan family has made enormous sacrifices and has dedicated their lives to Brian's recovery. Brian will need lengthy therapy and the Brennan family home must be modified to accommodate Brian. You're invited for a night of fellowship and good food at Mulligan's Restaurant and Grill in Farmingdale on Monday, October 13. 20% of every check will be donated to the Lt. Brian Brennan "Stands Alone" Trust. For more information call 732-642-9234 or 732-938-6641.
