Lt. Col. Walling was buried earlier this month. Maj. Kommendant will be buried on Aug. 8, exactly 46 years after his aircraft crashed.
WaWa's Commitment To Our Troops Continues
If you live in any one of the mid-Atlantic states, you've visited WaWa multiple times. It's considered one of the best run companies and convenience stores in the country. WaWa has a long tradition of giving back to its community centered around health (focusing on children), fighting hunger, supporting first-responders and our military.
From June 11-July 8, 2012, WaWa will be accepting donations in all their stores. The donations will go to programs aimed at helping our troops.
Also, on June 27, 2012, WaWA Hoagie Day will be held from Noon to 2 p.m. across from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, PA. WaWa will serve a 4.5 ton "hoagie salute" that will be distributed free as a "thank you" to those attending and showing their support for our troops. WaWa is partnering with the USO.
Happy 114th Birthday To U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman
As a former Air Force medic myself, I want to take this opportunity to wish a very happy 114th birthday to our U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman. Navy Corpsmen have proudly served since 1898 serving in hospitals, clinics to distant battlefields. When the call, "Corpsman Up!" has gone out, the corpsman is always there.
