"Gathering of Eagles: NY
Fighting the Insurgency at Home
Blue Star Canteen – Canandaigua
May 3, 2009 in Briefings, General
The proud Blue Star Moms of NY’s Chapter 1 have pulled off a tremendous victory against all odds!
They saw a need for a soldier’s canteen where troops can rest and relax in a home like setting on the grounds of the Canandaigua VA Hospital.
They identified a victorian structure on grounds which was vacant and in need of repair.
They persevered in pushing their request to obtain a lease on the building all the way up the VA chain of command and, finally, in early April, the papers were signed and the dream became a possibility.
Here is a news report with video.
Here is a slideshow of the condition of the building now.
