The Veterans of Foreign Wars in Marietta will hold a car wash event that is free for veterans on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
VFW Post 5108 is located at 319 Pike Street in Marietta. The car wash is also available to the general public. Those who are not veterans are asked to contribute cash donations that will go directly to the VFW and The American Legion.
“I had a member of the community approach me, and he’s with a program with drug court,” said Robert Fitzgerald, the executive director for the Washington County Veterans Service Commission. “He did a year program where he’s been sober, and part of his graduation is doing a community project, and he wanted to support veterans.”

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently selected the Devola sewer project for federal funding in the amount of $1.075 million.
Washington County Commissioner Charlie Schilling announced the funding at Thursday morning’s commission meeting.
“This is a really big deal and it just goes to show the work that we have been putting in … in order to help the residents of Devola,” he said. “Not only the residents of Devola, but the residents of Washington County when it comes to the sewer system.”
A letter from the Corps’ planning, programs and project management division said the sewer project was deemed eligible for the Section 594 Program. The funding is applicable toward project design and construction costs.
