Welcome Home the Heroes Day
Volunteers in the City of St. Louis are joining together to make January 28th "Welcome Home the Heroes Day."
As the troops return from deployment, it is our responsibility to welcome them home and ensure that they have the resources and opportunities available to them to successfully transition to civilian life. Join us on January 28th in taking the first step in thanking our troops for their service abroad, and challenging them to continue their service as leaders at home.
