Crabbe.JPG"Today has been a pretty good day," Maureen Crabbe told me over the phone today.

We like these words. We like to hear good news for the Crabbe family.

Maureen was talking about her son, Cpl. Justin Crabbe, who has been in the hospital since August recovering from his wounds after stepping on a bomb in Afghanistan. On Monday, President Obama paid him a visit at his hospital in Bethesda, Md. and gave him the purple heart.

Justin, 22, a Los Osos High School graduate who enlisted in the Marines in 2008, lost both of his legs in the incident and continues to struggle in the recovery process. But today Crabbe got to use his wheel chair and worked his arms. That's fantastic news.

On Oct. 22, there will be a fundraiser car show at Legends Burgers, 8775 Base Line Road. Money raised will go to the Crabbe family to offset their expenses as they take time out of their lives to be with Justin in Maryland. From noon to 3 p.m., the restaurant will donate 15 percent of proceeds to the family.

To read more about Justin's progress, look in the newspaper this weekend for a lengthier feature. You can also learn more about Justin by visiting this blog the family has set up.
