Pathways Receives Flag From United States Army

As mentioned in the September 22nd post "Pathways Gives Back" participants in the Pathways program create hand-made items that they sell, and then use the money from the sales to purchase items to put together care packages for the Adopt-a-Platoon program..  In August, the group received a note from the Platoon, the 10th Mountain Division, thanking them for their continued support.

This week, the 10th Mountain Division shared their thanks again with an official flag and plaque dedicated to "The Men and Women in the Pathways program."  The flag was flown over the Combined Joint Task Force (CJTF-10) Headquarters at the Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan on September 11, 2014.

From everyone in the Pathways program and from all of us here at Ontario ARC, we are truly humbled by this honor.  Thank you to the men and women who served, and to those who continue to serve and protect our country.  We are truly grateful for your dedication!

Members of the Pathways program stand with the flag and plaque.
