Opportunities to Serve on a Department of Maryland Committee

​Greetings Comrades!

Our chapter and unit members who are able bodied need to be proactive and engage in these programs so that they may be recognized outside the normal volunteer opportunity channels and would increase their chances for an individual award when they are submitted at the end of the year.​

Yours in Comradeship,

Commander Young
