Triangle Chapter financially supports the annual Cary High School NJROTC Drill Meet, scheduled for March 15, 2025.

A solemn opportunity to honor the fallen.

We urge you to use this opportunity to volunteer a few hours of your time on Saturday, December 14th, to join us in placing wreaths at the gravesites of our military veterans.

See the website shown for more information about how to volunteer. Drill down into the map to find the cemeteries in your area. We urge you to use the website sign up to support this effort to honor our veterans. In his latest President's Message, COL Segal asked that you document your experience with photos and use the opportunity to get to know other MOAA-affiliated vets who may be in attendance. Please send photos to COL Segal at his email: herbsegal1941@gmail.com, and cc the website at: moaa.trianglechapter@gmail.com.

You can also help WAA by sponsoring wreaths for $17 each. Information on their website.
