“Once again, I am extremely proud of Eglin Federal Credit Union employees for volunteering and showing support to our local communities,” said President and CEO Jerry Williams. “I’d also like to thank the soldiers who showed up in full force. Only nine people were requested and 27 volunteered. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to supporting United Way’s Day of Caring every year.”
