Mark Dwyer, Commander of Walter E. Cole Post 187, American Legion, recently commented; “What an extraordinary amount of school supplies were accumulated for children of soldiers assigned to the Warrior Transition Battalion at Fort Bragg. This year’s campaign in spite of COVID-19 was an incredible success.”
People from Wake Forest and surrounding communities for the past 10 years have responded to a request from veteran organizations to provide school supplies for the children of soldiers in transition from worldwide deployments and assigned to the Transition Battalion at Fort Bragg. The items received were sorted and boxed and will be transported to Fort Bragg later this week. Veterans who were responsible for planning, sorting, and delivering the much needed school supplies wish to send out a great big “Thank You” to all who participated in this worthwhile project. If it were not for their generosity many service member children attending school would be lacking basic school items. Wake Forest and the surrounding communities maintain the lead in taking care of service men and women and their families.
