Thank You to Viking Bags for Supporting Our Veterans!

We’d like to extend a special thank-you to Viking Bags for their generous donation of a premium motorcycle bag to be raffled off at our upcoming DAV Chapter 55 fundraising event.

Your support helps us continue serving local veterans and their families — and we’re proud to work with organizations that share our mission of giving back to those who served.
