March 2022 Newsletter
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
~ President Ronald Reagan (during his January 5, 1967 California gubernatorial inaugural address).
RCFC stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. The courage, determination and strength shown by the Ukrainian people defending the sovereignty of their country is awe-inspiring. We pray the tragedy unfolding comes to an end, and Ukrainians find peace again in a free Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine!
"We are all here, defending our independence, our country. And it will stay that way. Glory to the men and women defending us. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes."
~ Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky
