By: Dream Foundation One of the first women to ever to enlist in the U.S. military, Edwards served as a sergeant during WWII. In addition to her military service, Edwards dedicated 64 years of volunteer service to the Girl Scouts of America. Edwards has proudly devoted her life to these two organizations and feels strongly about being properly attired when attending upcoming Marine Corps and Girl Scouts events. She says that she used to make her own clothes, but finds it difficult these days. "As we remember those we have lost this Memorial Day weekend, it will be an honor to serve one of our many dedicated veterans," says Kisa Heyer. "Arlon Edwards has spent her life serving others and has been an inspiration for women everywhere. We are privileged to fulfill her final Dream." Dreams for Veterans will give life to Edwards' final Dream by providing her with the funds she needs to purchase several outfits and to have them properly tailored. To honor the life and service of her fellow Girl Scout, 11-year-old Parker Treichel donated money she received for her birthday to pay for the cost of tailoring.
