2016 A year in photos
2016 was another successful year for Detachment 296. Our family continues to grow in leaps and bounds. We have gained members of all ages, genders, and races. Our diversity is starting to become one of our greatest attributes. Our multiple fundraising events were a great success, giving us the funds to continue our mission to support our local community and veterans. Unfortunately we lost a couple of key members, not only in the detachment but to the Emmaus Veterans Community as a whole. It is in their honor that we maintain our commitment to our mission.
