News & Reviews from Kraus-Hartig VFW
The city of Spring Lake Park has been working hard to keep its Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network active and sustainable. Since their proclamation, the network has accepted requests from neighboring cities that don't have a network to support Servicemembers in place.
Their volunteer efforts helped move a deployed Red Bull Soldier's family to better housing. Through donations of services and funds they paid for the supplies and painted the interior of another deployed Red Bull Soldier's home in New Brighton. The committee chairs also adopted four Army Reserve units and one active duty Army unit through the Veterans of Foreign Wars Military Assistance Program.
Over the last two summers the network has held family-fun picnics for returning Soldiers of the 704th Chemical Company, 13th Psyops Battalion and their families.
On Dec. 10, 2011, the network served the 704th Chemical Company's first Army Ball. These 155 meals were made possible via donations from the Coon Rapids Culver Knit Wits' silent auction, held during a pig roast, sponsored by the Kraus-Hartig VFW Post 6587.
The Spring Lake Park Yellow Ribbon Network meets monthly on the second Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m. Stop by the post at 8100 Pleasant View Drive, Spring Lake Park, MN 55432, to volunteer or request help. We can also be reached via our Facebook page and the city and VFW websites.
