In 2018 when Operation Honor Guard was founded, Jim Wambold was instrumental in helping get the organization started. As a member of the Board of Managers at The Oaklands Cemetery in West Chester for over 20 years, he allowed us to start cleaning headstones at that cemetery. He not only was a financial contributor but also a frequent volunteer.
