Yellow Ribbon Fund Tours

BGES is currently partnering with the Washington D.C. based charity, Yellow Ribbon Fund. This is one of many nonprofits set up to help injured soldiers and their families as they focus on reintegrating people into American culture and giving them foundational assistance in transitioning back to life in America. They operate out of Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Last year, BGES volunteered to offer tours of Civil War sites to help relieve the monotony of long term rehabilitative stays at the hospital.
