Funds raised will go to support Rockdale County. “These brave men and women served their country, with honor. We work tirelessly to help them transition to civilian life meeting needs that include employment, housing, and general transition issues. We are working to build transitional housing, a vision our late commander Gene began before his untimely death.” John Darby, Chairman VFW Auxiliary.
