$10,000 donation made to Haymarket warrior retreat

American Legion Post 1799 presented a $10,000 check to John Dominic, VP of The Warrior Retreat.

  • The donation will support five hospitalized veterans and their families for one week to stay at the retreat and give them a break from the hospital environment.
  • Post 1799 obtained the grant by applying to the American Legion “Operation Comfort Warriors” program, serving wounded, injured, or ill personnel by providing them with comfort items not usually supplied by the government.

This marks the second time in the last three years American Legion Post 1799 has applied for and received a grant of $10,000 from the American Legion Operation Comfort Warriors program.

The Warrior Retreat in Haymarket is operated by Serve Our Willing Warriors.
