I’m incredibly grateful for the brand-new storage unit that will assist VFW Post 1433, Triple M Military and Veterans Committee, and the Hometown Christmas Parade.

This new storage unit is a major win—giving us dedicated space for our special events, eliminating the need to pay for storage, and saving hundreds of dollars each year. It also provides easier access to the equipment we rely on to serve our community.

We’ll be adding a secure cage between the containers to house T. Wayne Cole of 501c Realty Team’s flag incinerator, ensuring it’s safely stored and readily accessible when needed.

Special thanks to Millson General Contracting, Gary Vogt—not only for his generous contribution to help secure this unit, but for his continued involvement and support as a valued member of the Hometown Christmas Parade, and to Professional Towing & Recovery - Tempe owner Khaled Albaroudi for delivery of the new storage unit.

We truly appreciate the generosity and commitment from everyone involved!
