Post Activities from 2004

Boxes for the Troops

On Nov. 20th., the Ladies Auxiliary, along with the United Auto Workers Veterans Committee, sent 48 individual boxes (packed in 12 boxes of 4 each) plus 3 community boxes to our Troops at Camp Arifjan.
The boxes contained foot powder, dental items, a phone card, playing cards, snacks, Christmas cards to send home, etc.

The boxes were sent for distribution to VFW #1170's chaplain
(who is also a member of G.I. Joe Post #244)
LTC. David Graetz - 337th TSC-Chaplain Section
Camp Arifjan

Our Prayers are with our Troops.

Memorial Day
2004 was rainy,
