Congratulations to all the 2026 Graduates!

This month, we had the honor of presenting a scholarship to the 4th Gold Star Child from the Yanky 72 mishap. We will continue to support the families at every opportunity.

This was in addition to the scholarship that we have presented to a Waterford-Halfmoon High School graduate annually since 2018. We could not continue to this without the support of the The Wingman Foundation and Helene E. Glavin Clinton and the community that continues to support us.

They stood the watch so others could live free.
This Memorial Day, we honor the Marines who never made it home — the warriors who carried the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor with courage until their final breath.

Freedom has a price. Marines paid it in full. 🇺🇸

Drop an OORAH in the comments to honor the fallen.

Happy National Devil Dog Day!
Observed annually on April 27, this day honors both the Marine Corps and the classic cream-filled snack.

Here is how the day celebrates both meanings:
The Marines ("Devil Dogs"): The nickname "Teufel Hunden" (Devil Dogs) was allegedly given by German soldiers to U.S. Marines during the intense Battle of Belleau Wood in World War I, signifying their ferocious fighting spirit.

The Snack: Drake's Foods (now Drake's Cakes) introduced the Devil Dog—a, cream-filled, chocolate devil’s food cake—in 1926.

How to Celebrate (April 27, 2026):
Enjoy a Drake's Devil Dog snack cake.
Thank a Marine for their service.


The day was founded by Sean Alexander Sobel in 2017 to honor his grandfather, Howard Leslie Sobel, and the history of the snack.
