(Chatham NY)  A dozen local youth with a variety of special needs and disabilities are expressly invited to spend a weekend in barracks-style canvas tents, sleep on cots and don military style uniforms, taking orders from veterans at the campsite named ‘Yellow Ribbon’ pavilion. If there is something that Soldiers and Marines are good at, it is leading from the front and working as a team to serve.
