 -- III The State of the Squad (2008 accomplishments)
 -----------------------------------------------------------

Zombie Squad has come a long way in just a few short years. What started as a conversation between a small group of friend on a South St. Louis drive has become an international movement to encourage the public to take some very basic steps towards preparing for emergencies ranging from the annoying to the catastrophic. 2008 was on of the best years on records for our organization.
