We would like to send a special thanks out to the Post Commander, SGM (Ret) Bill Ward, and the entire membership of Post 8185.
Most recently we supported a family picnic for the soldiers and family of Company A, 175th Infantry Regiment (5th MD) in Frederick, Maryland as they demobilized from their active duty in support of COVID-19 relief efforts.
America’s service members, veterans, military spouses, survivors, and their families are disproportionately targeted for online crimes that can have a devasting impact on their personal and financial well-being and our national security.
In an effort to provide free support to our community, the Cybercrime Support Network was created. The Partnership to Fight Cybercrime, an initiative of the Cybercrime Support Network, is a bold new alliance of military and veteran service organizations, non-governmental organizations, corporations, foundations, and federal agencies banding together to educate and mobilize the military & veteran community to fight cybercrime.

The activities in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, caused an urgent request for assistance, and soldiers from the First Battalion, 175th Infantry Regiment (Fifth Maryland), and the 115th Military Police Battalion answered the call. Approximately 500 soldiers were mobilized and dispatched to Washington DC for security duties.
COL(R) Bruce Kahl provided hand warmers and candy bars to CPT Barreca, 1SG Simmons, SFC Beytha and SGT Rice of the 1-175th Infantry to be provided to the soldiers on duty.
These soldiers are standing guard on wintery cold day both day and night. To show our appreciation to these soldiers the Military Family Relief Fund, Mid-Atlantic stepped up and purchased hand warmers and candy bars for the brave soldiers. These supplies were delivered to them on Tuesday, January 12, 2021. While on that delivery, it was learned that the soldiers needed additional hand warmers, gloves, socks, and personal toiletries. To support that need, MFRFMA purchased additional hand warmers and gloves. In cooperation with the 175th Infantry Regimental Association, warm fresh socks were procured for the troops too. These were delivered to the troops on Thursday, January 14, 2021.
Your support to his effort is critically important. If you wish to make a monetary tax-exempt contribution to the MFRF, details on how to contribute are found on the MFRFMA website at https://mfrfma.org/
We are honored to have made a donation to the 70th Regiment’s Warrant Officer Candidate Class 20-001, “The Ocelots” for a beautification project at the Edgewood Senior Activities Center.
