Veterans caring for veterans this holiday season!
For more than 15 years, members of Post 78 of the Army National Guard’s 29th Division Association have delivered holiday gift bags to veterans living in local nursing homes, reaching nearly 150 veterans each year, regardless of branch of service.
These photos from this past week reflect a veteran-led organization honoring service and supporting fellow veterans during the holidays.
