Several members of our unit attend local school patriotic events.
It is fun to get involved with the students, answering questions and
sharing experiences.
Supporting Other Detachments
We often take an active role in supporting events put on by
other detachments. One of these was a weekend trip to Cottonwood when they sponsored
a Welcome Home Vietnam Veteran's Day along with the traveling Vietnam Wall.
Another was a weekend with the Tombstone detachment during their Wild West Days to honor veterans.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day
Each year we join with other veterans groups in the area, taking our turn at hosting the events or providing assistance to the rotating host.
