WREATH RETIREMENT 2022
A special THANKS to the crew from "IT'S HAUL GOOD" for volunteering their time and a truck to haul wreaths for recycling to the Fairfax dump on a chilly Saturday.  Thanks to their help,  and a crew of club members, spouses and volunteers from American Legion Post 184 all  the wreaths were removed for recycling, and all the stakes were picked up for use next year.  Members were pleased for the support as we wrap up
Wreaths Across America at Chestnut Grove Cemetery thanking and honoring the 926 veterans laid to rest.

This June, the Wreaths Across America Committee
made a donation to two veteran organizations
Each organization is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit
A donation was made to "Warrior Canine Connection,"
an organization in Boyd's, MD that trains service dogs for veterans.  They use a mission based trauma recovery model to help
recovering Warriors reconnect with life, their families, their communities and each other by interacting with dogs from birth through adulthood, training dogs for fellow wounded veterans.  Warrior Trainers benefit from the animal - human connection,
while wounded Warriors receive the benefit of a trained service dog.  www.warriorcanineconnection.org
A donation was made to "Veterans Next Mission,"
an organization in Sterling, VA that provides job training
in the home building and remodeling trades to assist
veterans separating from service with their transition
to civilian employment/careers.
