GRASSROOTS VOLUNTEER

Working in your community.

The Grassroots Volunteer Program relies on a nationwide network of individuals and organizations that want to help promote local awareness in their communities of the National Army Museum and The Army Historical Foundation and generate local contributions. Volunteers will receive the tools necessary to be successful including brochures, posters and newsletters to support their efforts.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Veteran Jerry Hansen, Carlsbad, CA, launched a cIMG_1342ampaign in July 2015 to raise money to purchase Army Commemorative bricks for his twenty West Point classmates who were killed in action during Vietnam. With only two emails to the class roster, Hansen raised more than double his goal. In addition to the twenty bricks, his class will now also be listed on the Veterans’ Hall Wall.

Robena Reid’s father served in the Signal Corps for three and half years in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Reid, of Lorton, VA, hands out brochures and tells people she meets about her dad’s service and the Museum’s purpose. She inspires people to learn more about historical events and to reflect upon the impact of past events on their personal lives.
