Cpl Pete Arnold #1198. Its detachment has met since 1974 — Forest Hill, MD. The charter came in the years after the Second World War and Korea, and the members who stayed treated the monthly meeting as a standing promise: show up, look after one another, and leave the town a little better.
People point to the detachment for the Memorial Day observance and for the quieter help that never makes a program — Forest Hill. The members would rather be useful than famous, which is why the hall still smells like coffee on meeting night.
Meetings are 3rd Tuesday, 7:00 PM, at the hall — Forest Hill. This page is a sample so neighbors can see the shape of the work. The group itself has not claimed the page, so the stories here are an illustration, written in the voice the detachment might use.
