Bonds of Courage 10th Anniversary
May 18, 2014
On Sunday-May 18th, 2014 we hosted the community at our new home at the New Jersey National Guard Armory in Westfield.
Attendees were able to:
* Meet the soldiers from the 1-102nd Cavalry Squadron
* See Army vehicles
* Visit the Heritage Room (display of an actual Congressional Medal of honor and artifacts from throughout history)
* Join in packing boxes for the many troops deployed around the world
* Enjoy great music - Thank you NJ DJ Services
We would like to thank the UC STEP program - Support 4 Soldiers. Our shelves are overflowing with items that had been collected and were be packed. Support 4 Soldiers was conceived by students who were brought together by the countywide UC STEP (Union County Student Training and Enrichment Program) Summit last December. The UC STEP students organized their campaign with the support of the Freeholder Board in partnership with the Bonds of Courage (bondsofcourage.org), which is based in Westfield.
