MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Eleven motor scooters have been donated to VA Medical Centers in New York State. (Two VAMC's declined our donations for liability reasons) The project raised almost $12,000 during the 2 1/2 year project. Our finest example of Sons Serving Veterans to date. See our page about Project Undergarment. Thank you to all who worked tirelessly on this mission. |
