Title: Yakima Training Center gym renamed in honor of Aaron Blanchard
Post by: Bob33 on August 31, 2019, 06:23:23 PM: I thought you might appreciate seeing this. The Army's Training Center gym was renamed in honor of Aaron Blanchard, a former Hunt-Washington member who died serving his country. :salute:

May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Never met him, but as for his sacrifice I am forever grateful!

Semiper Fi!
