YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – In hopes to explore our military’s history, the Territorial Young Marines are asking for the community’s help.
The group plans to travel to Hawaii this December to attend the annual Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
To help cover their costs, the Young Marines have been holding car washes and various fundraisers.
A leader of the program, Chas Johnson, says the trip will have a great impact on them and be an unforgettable experience.
“This is a great opportunity for them to see, [in] real life, what happens in the military so they can understand why we teach them, what we teach them, and why they learn what they learn so they can become better people and give back to the community,” Johnson expressed.
They’re holding a fundraiser next Thursday, July 24, at Sage and Sand Cocktail Lounge starting at 5:30 p.m.
