Our chapter participated in many events throughout the past
year, either fundraising or in pursuit of our mission of honoring
our veterans and remembering our fallen comrades.
Our quarterly vet visitation program with veterans living in
private facilities to date covers 4 area homes with approximately
60 veterans in residence. We provide each with a branch-of-service
ball cap and a holiday Christmas gift with a personalized
card. In the summer we hold picnics, and we are considering
including fishing trips as well.

Many of our members were honored recently with the presentation
of certificates and medals for Korean wartime military
service by Pennsylvania State Representatives to those men
residing in their districts.
At the last Armed Forces Day celebration, we had tables set
up in our local mall combining T-Shirt/Hat sales, Rose of Sharon
donations, Korean War “show and tell” memorabilia, and informational
posters.
