DISTRICT MILITARY COORDINATION COMMITTEE

In the Fall of 2023, Rotary District 5340 chartered a new committee called the District Military Coordination Committee (DMCC). Its purpose is to promote support to active duty and veteran population in San Diego and Imperial County, bring together veterans and other Rotarians in District 5340 to recognize military service and document current programs in district Rotary clubs, expand knowledge of this effort through district publicity, dedicated space on district website, creation of a dedicated website, and word of mouth, and encourage district clubs to develop programs and events in support of veterans and the military.

In February 2024 Rick Clark, one of the members of the DMCC, proposed a project called “Operation Flags for Vets” that involved placing an American flag at every gravesite in Miramar National Cemetery on Memorial Day, 2024.
 
There were two parts to the project. The first was placing the flags on Saturday, May 25th and the second was flag removal for storage on May 28th.

ABOUT DMCC
Rotary District 5340 has always had a strong and proud relationship with the local military community. Given the large presence of active duty, reserve, veteran and retired personnel and their families in our midst, it is only natural that as a service organization we would embrace them. Rotary can be found promoting local military events, building, and improving facilities on installations, conducting food drives for families, and supporting a wide array of events in the area.

DMCC Mission Statement

The District Military Coordination Committee (DMCC) has been established with the purpose of coordinating, supporting, and aiding the San Diego Military community, encompassing active duty personnel, retirees, veterans, and their families. The DMCC will provide a centralized clearinghouse for District 5340 Rotary club sponsored projects and events impacting the local military community. This clearinghouse will serve to document projects, incentivize expanded activities, provide a model for others to emulate, and offer volunteer opportunities for other clubs in the District.

Beyond the immediate military community, the DMCC extends its assistance to veterans and organizations dedicated to supporting veterans, families, and survivors. A key objective is to heighten awareness within the civilian community regarding the specific needs, issues, and events affecting veterans.

By coordinating upcoming, ongoing events and resources our goal is to create partnerships with community and business leaders, as well as collaborate with other organizations and government departments. By leveraging the collective strength of the community, our aim is to provide unwavering support to veterans facing challenges and address their needs effectively.
