Whereas Lt. Col. Kenneth Marx M.D. was a physician in the 
emergency room at Reading Hospital when he accepted 
combat deployment, his first, when another physician fell 
ill; 
Whereas Lt. Col. Kenneth Marx M.D. seeks to develop hu-
manitarian-assistance projects at the village level to sup-
port the efforts of United States Armed Forces patrol 
units to provide security and extend law, governance, and 
social institutions by simple acts of human kindness that 
will help the voiceless victims of a war-torn country and 
the innocent children, collateral damages of any war 
zone; 
Whereas Lt. Col. Kenneth Marx M.D. demonstrates to all 
United States citizens and citizens of the world that the 
United States Armed Forces is capable of not only great 
strength, but great compassion; 
Whereas Sherry Tillman and Carla Zambelli of First Friday 
Main Line worked with Lt. Col. Marx M.D. and the 
Lower Merion, Pennsylvania community to organize and 
launch ‘‘Operation Angel Wings with First Friday Main 
Line’’ in literally a matter of days; 
Whereas First Friday Main Line not only seeks to foster a 
greater sense of community by bringing local residents, 
artists, and small businesses together, but to also make 
time for other nonprofit and charitable initiatives within 
their own mission; 
Whereas Lt. Col. Kenneth Marx M.D., Sherry Tillman, and 
Carla Zambelli demonstrate the true spirit of the United 
States with their volunteerism;

on November 9, 2009, First Friday Main Line, through 
the generosity of the Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, com-
munity and extended community, has collected and sent

make a difference in their community, and even the 
world, through the smallest of efforts: Now, therefore, be 
it
