Leading up to Memorial Day Weekend, KSBY normally teams up with Si Tenenberg, a San Luis Obispo resident and marine veteran, to help ship care packages to military members stationed across the world. COVID-19 put a hamper on that once again this year, but even with the restrictions, Si continues to get supplies into the hands of those serving overseas.
âWe were afraid the American people would forget us, but you have havenât,â said Tenenberg.
Si Tenenberg is one who will never forget those continuing to fight for our freedom.
