Because S.O. Tech is located in Los Angeles and many of our customers have called with concern having seen our Company President, Jim Cragg interviewed on national news about the disastrous Palisades Fires, we felt we should put out this announcement as S.O. Tech has not been affected:
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been impacted by the horrific fires throughout Southern California and the brave first responders who are working tirelessly to protect lives and property.
We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the many friends of Jim Cragg who have inquired about Jim’s family and his home in the Pacific Palisades. Jim and his family are safe and have temporarily relocated out of the Palisades. Thanks to Jim’s efforts involving an improvised sprinkler fire system, his home and that of fourteen neighbors are still standing. Since the fires began, Jim has spent most of this past week at the Ronald Reagan Palisades American Legion Post 283 where he was previously the Commander for 4 years. Jim, with his fellow veterans from the American Legion, Special Forces Association and Association of the US Army, have been coordinating efforts to help with the recovery of the community – using the facilities of Post 283 which remarkably remains intact while the rest of the town was destroyed. He is working with the authorities to provide relief to the area. Last week, Jim was interviewed on NBC4 in a clip which has since gone nationwide. The link below is for the film clip. He has also been on Fox, NewsNation and VOA.
Many of you have asked how you can help. To do so, please follow the link to American Legion Post 283: www.alpost283/fire where a link for volunteers and donations can be found.
To S.O. Tech’s partners, customers and friends, SO Tech remains unaffected by the fires and continues to operate, as usual. While Jim will be temporarily engaged in the recovery of the Pacific Palisades community, he has in place an outstanding team to ensure that all deliveries are on time and of top quality.
Let us hope that this unprecedented disaster ends very soon. Together, we remain strong, resilient and ready to support one another.
Respectfully,
LT COL Jim Cragg (ret.)
