Quartermaster Thom Fermstad delivered Christmas cards enclosed with $50 gift cards to Ray Morales, case manager for the residents of Compass Veterans Housing on N 200th in Shoreline. 

All residents are veterans.

VFW Post 3348 donates to many veterans programs throughout the year, including USO at Sea-Tac Airport, VFW National Home for Children, the Washington Veterans Home in Port Orchard, the Washington Soldiers Home in Orting, and to our very own Joint Service Team, which helps veterans with VA claims and deals with veterans suffering from PTSD.

Program Manager Shree Vigil said "Thank you so much for delivering the cards to our veterans here at Shoreline. 

"I already heard words of appreciation this morning. I wish I could have been here, but the picture brought a smile to my face."

The gift cards are purchased with the donations from the Buddy Poppy event on Veterans' Day weekend.
