Remember that your members sacrifice many hours donating their time, money, and items to help veterans and their families. Maybe they spent time volunteering at a VA Medical Facility, participated in a Color Guard or Honor Guard Ceremony, a parade, or Toys-4-Tots, helped other veterans in need, etc. Your Detachment and your members deserve to be recognized for their donations and work.
