The Reston Chorale presents: A Star Spangled Salute 2025

Honoring Those Who Sacrificed All and Thanking Those Who Serve

Join us for A STAR-SPANGLED SALUTE on Sunday, May 25th, a free patriotic concert honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and OPERATION CARE PACKAGE (May 25-June 11), a care-packages-for-troops drive thanking those who serve.

The event will also kick off Operation Care Package, a drive to collect and ship care package items to America's military personnel serving overseas. Since 2015, The Reston Chorale has shipped more than 2,000 pounds of care package donations to troops serving in the Baltic region, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, reminding those serving far from home that they are remembered and appreciated. In 2025, Operation Care Package will support troops serving in Northeast Asia.

Donations may be dropped off:

> Tuesday, May 27-Friday, June 6 in Reston Town Center office lobbies. Additional drop-off locations may be announced. Be sure to register to receive updates!
