Friends of the Soldiers Home garden volunteers have completed this season’s third and final batch of flower bouquets for the Armed Forces Retirement Home-DC cafeteria. The flowers look great! We’re grateful to volunteers Linda Cotton, Carol Herwig and Susan Minnemeyer, who grew and tended the flowers throughout the season. Thank you gardeners for bringing additional beauty to a Home of beautiful residents!

Thanks everybody who came out for Fall Fun Fest on Sunday, Sept. 30. More than 1,300 people enjoyed antique cars, music, food, games and fun. The weather was glorious! Friends of the Soldiers Home would like to thank the residents and staff of the Armed Forces Retirement Home for welcoming us to your beautiful campus. We are grateful to all the sponsors and volunteers who made the event possible.
