| Arriving for a 2005 hospital visit at the VA Hospital in Washington, DC, are Greg Moscater, Mark Pando, and J. Gary Wagner. The group distributed fresh fruit and magazines to residents of the nursing home at the VA Center. |
Ladies Auxiliary member Elsa Weeks made about 130 of these small flags on Buddy Poppy stands for residents of the V.A. Hospital nursing home in Washington, DC. The idea was a suggestion from Post Surgeon Mark Pando as a special momento for the veterans on Independence Day 2005. The stands not only prevented the flags from falling over and onto the floor but also made them readily visible. |
| The weekend before Independence Day 2005, Post members brought four cases of bananas, pears, and oranges - and the small American flags - for residents of the nursing home at the VA Hospital in Washington, DC. Preparing for the distribution are Post Commander Greg Moscater, Mark Pando, Sam Stafford, and J. Gary Wagner. |
Members of John Lyon and members of the Diplomatic Security Service arrived at the VA Hospital in Washington, DC, for the Post's Christmas 2005 visit.
