Admittedly, we have a long row to hoe to see this project through, but we see this as a project that will benefit not only our veteran community, but our community as a whole. We have made arrangements to receive 501c(3) donations, building partnerships with other area organizations, and restoring a piece of local history.

​

  There is a sign that hangs over the fireplace that reads, "This building and these grounds are dedicated as a memorial to Albert and Edward McDuffie sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. Grady McDuffie, who gave their lives for their country in the European theater of operation during World War II.  October 30, 1957."

​

   We have been working on the property as funds and time have been available.  We hope for this place to be used to provide the McDuffie Outpost as a place where we can assist in the healing process of area veterans in keeping with our National Headquarters "Be The One" campaign. The McDuffie Outpost is an anxiety free zone where we hope to make a difference.

​

  Our goal is to maintain this history and continue to pay tribute to those who not only served before us, are enduring the seen and unseen wounds of war, or have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. By restoring these grounds, we will be providing a location that continue to honor the McDuffie brothers and others so that their service and sacrifice will remain tangible to those who follow.
