The Yellow Ribbon Fund was created in early 2005 to
assist our injured service members and their families while they
recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National
Naval Medical Center. Our mission began when the father of an injured
Marine introduced two of our volunteers to staff at Walter Reed and
Bethesda Naval and they told us what needs were not met by other donors.
From March 1, 2005 through February 28, 2007, contributions made through the Yellow Ribbon Fund have provided:
- over 475 free rental cars,
- over 3,700 free taxi rides,
- over 1,600 free rooms in hotels,
- over 33 families the free use of our 3 apartments,
- hundreds of free tickets to sporting games, concerts and plays, and
- hundreds of lunches, dinners, golf games, duck and goose hunts,
fishing trips, etc.
