Steve Loso from TWU 591 and Wayne Tipton from TWU 556 embarked on a remarkable journey this past March at the Bataan Memorial Death March. They marched a grueling 26.2 miles, carrying a 35-pound rucksack each, paying tribute to the WWII soldiers who endured unimaginable hardships as prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. But it doesn’t stop there! This incredible event also serves a noble purpose by supporting local charities, including those assisting the homeless, food banks, and families in need. Hats off to Steve, Wayne, and all the participants who are making a difference both in honoring our heroes and in uplifting the lives of those who require a helping hand. 1st quarter 2023, the Veterans Committee visits Arlington National Cemetery and participates in a wreath laying ceremony. Col. Sutherland, Army Retired, escorts the Veterans Committee through Arlington National Cemetery.
