Volunteers Needed Thursday Night to Help San Jacinto Veterans
This Memorial Day the San Jacinto Democratic Veterans Brigade is coordinating a Memorial Service in Sam Houston Park for US servicemen and women who have been killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere since 9-11-2001.
In preparation for this event we are having a flag labeling 'party' at the HCDP HQ next Thursday night (May 26th) from 6pm to 9pm. We need to label over 1800 flags.
Whether or not you can volunteer, please join us Memorial Day:
