Every day, wounded servicemen and women return from combat, many to long-term rehabilitation at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital.  In February, 2005, the Yellow Ribbon Fund was created specifically to welcome them into our community and to provide services to the wounded and their families in times of need.   The YRF makes their lives easier in difficult and stressful circumstances by offering free car rentals, cab vouchers, hotel rooms, apartments, job mentoring and internship programs and free tickets to cultural and sporting events.

On Saturday, November 7th the Yellow Ribbon Fund will host the "Rockin for The Troops" Gala.   The evening will include a silent auction, raffle, food, drinks, music by the cover band Beats Workin' and dancing. The event emcee is Bob Schieffer.
