FRIENDS\' ACTIVITIES

Friends march in parades with Chapter 310; we participate in VVA310 activities (for example, visiting the VA Hospital); we maintain the flower beds at Washtenaw County Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Ypsilanti Township).
We assist with ceremonies at our Memorial.
We support Sons and Daughters in Touch.
We knit helmet liners and sew neck coolers for deployed troops.
We assist with packing care packages to our deployed servicemen and women.
We host a Vietnam Veteran Goldstar Mothers luncheon annually for families of those men on our Washtenaw County Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
One Friend is in charge of the Food Pantry which provides food when requested by area Vietnam Veterans who are in need. This Friend also takes care of sending flowers to bereaved families of the Chapter. 

Our main focus is always to support Chapter 310 and its activities.
