Meeting Location:
Golden Corral Restaurant

If you are interested in improving your community,  helping our disabled veterans, or supporting our servicemen and women overseas, then please join us in our monthly meeting.   We can’t accomplish anything without dedicated, professional volunteers.

We are a proud bunch of Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy etc. all of which have served our Country by diligently doing what was asked of us. Some involved direct combat, some provided direct support for our combat troops, some were maintenance professionals, some were trainers preparing our combat troops to be the best servicemen and women that the world has ever seen. We now continue our dedication to freedom and liberty by volunteering to teach our communities awareness of the standards of which we practice. Those standards and sacrifices provide the basis of the freedoms we all enjoy.
