Which branch will be the Six-Star Champion?
The competition commences in:
The debate over which branch is the “best” has been going on for years. This Military Appreciation Month, we’re trying to settle it: Which branch can raise the most in support of veteran services and be this year’s Six-Star Champion? (Like a Five-Star General, only better)
We’re asking our community to choose a branch and invest at least $6 ($1 per branch). The branch with the highest fundraising total at the end of the day on May 31st wins the title of Six-Star Champion and permanent bragging rights. All funds raised support free services for local veterans at VOC.
