A Junior ROTC Unit can be a great benefit to a Post and the Auxiliary. This program produces fine young men and women with an appreciation for patriotism, civic responsibility and military service. They can assist with Veterans Day and Memorial Day projects such as placing flags and distributing Buddy Poppies. They can provide Color Guards and participate in parades and programs that your Post and/or Auxiliary sponsor. If you would like help to develope this effort of our post home , please call us 360-460-7724
As we continue “Serving from the Heart for Our Veterans” we will gain a greater desire to do all we can for them, their families, our communities and our organization!
