The mission of the Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley is to continue Minnesota’s proud history of supporting our communities and the military servicemembers, veterans, and their families by creating a network of support that prides itself in trust, follow through, and commitment. The Alliance of all five communities received proclamation on August 23, 2011 from Governor Mark Dayton and Major General Richard Nash.

"More than 2,500 soldiers from the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, are arriving at Camp Shelby, Miss.," said Olson. "This brigade has the distinction as being the largest deployment of the Minnesota National Guard since World War II and for supporting the final phase of the Iraq War during Operation New Dawn."

That is a lot of soldiers who answered the call to national security. Our Yellow Ribbon Alliance wants to put up flyers, signs and yellow ribbons--so who is up for this call to action to make sure our soldiers know they are welcomed back home and that we appreciate all they do?

Volunteering is good for the soul
When you volunteer you will make a difference in your life, you will make a difference in another person's life and add experience to your resume!
I started volunteering with the Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley because my father was a veteran and as a single mother I could related to the stress of having to do it all alone. I wanted to help out others who like my father served to keep peace in the World. I wanted to help their families when they got deployed to another part of the World.
When I signed up I did not know how this would impact my career nor was that the reason I volunteered. However, this spring the organization I work for decided they wanted to become a Yellow Ribbon Company and they selected me to be on the steering committee because of my experience with my local Yellow Ribbon.
Both opportunities have provided me with a chance to develop my leadership skills, work with community government, military groups, the media, plan events, help other groups and help the individuals. I am truly grateful for the experience and chance to serve a veteran.
See what fun opportunities the Yellow Ribbon Alliance Lower St. Croix Valley has to fill http://lnkd.in/H2D-Jh or let us know what you would like to do!
