This is the 25th year since troops left Twentynine Palms and the Morongo Basin to be in Desert Shield. To commemorate the effort, a local committee is raising $25,000 for a four-day event called the Salute in conjunction with the Twentynine Palms Pioneer Days event. The event honors and thanks all those who serve. They have many extra events planned including the Vietnam wall. They are a asking for the people in the Z107.7 listening area to donate $1 to help pay for this special event. You can go to www.29PalmsSalute.com to make a tax-deductible donation or mail their dollar or drop it off to The Salute, 6528 Hillside Avenue, Twentynine Palms, CA 92277, or call Mary Jane Binge at 760-367-3622.
