Club Announcements
| A Special "Thank You" to Our Members |
It is with sincere gratitude that I thank the many of you who contributed to the holiday fund for Club Staff. In these tough economic times, the annual bonus is a wonderful benefit to our employees. The fund is open for contributions year round and paid out in December to the staff, so it's never too early or late to make a donation to recognize the valuable contributions of The Army and Navy Club team. Thank you for your generosity in allowing the holiday fund to continue to provide for our staff and their families during the holiday season.

The Long Road Home tells the story of a brutal 48 hour firefight, conveying in harrowing detail the effects of war not just on the soldiers but also on the families waiting back at home.
The firefight in Sadr City marked the beginning of the Iraqi insurgency and Martha Raddatz has written a riveting account of hand-to-hand combat to emerge from the war in Iraq.
|
This intimate portrait of the close-knit community of families Stateside and the unsung heroes of the military, distinguishes The Long Road Home from other stories of modern warfare, showing the horror, terror, bravery, and fortitude not just of the soldiers who were wounded and killed but also of the wives and children whose lives now are forever changed.
