The Maryland Patriot Guard (MDPG) leaders Ann and Ted Nettles, provided another opportunity for MD Chapter Gold Star Mothers to “Honor Through Service” at their Annual BBQ that was held at the United Service Organization (USO) located at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Bethesda. Janice Chance represented the MD Chapter. She joined the Maryland Patriot Guard (MDPG) leaders, MDPG members, two members of the Young Marines and other patriots in serving our wounded warriors, active-duty service members and, their families. Janice served as a greeter and gave out raffle tickets. The volunteers worked together well as a team throughout the event. There was plenty of good food, wonderful fellowship and several raffle prizes were awarded throughout the BBQ. The volunteers received thanks for their service from the MD PG leaders, our Heroes, USO staff, and other civilian employees. There was much laughter and smiles on the faces of our heroes and their children. Janice and the other volunteers also seized every opportunity to spend time interacting with and thanking our heroes, their family and the support staff. The BBQ was well attended.
