Bobbie is on the Board of Directors of the Veterans of All Wars Museum in Chickamauga, GA. It was founded by Robert H. Honeycutt, a WWII veteran "The Eleventh Man" on a B-24 shot down over Austria. He was a POW in Stalag Luft IV and a survivor of the German Death March...destined to be gassed with the remaining POWs at Auschwitz before the war ended...he was liberated before that happened.

The montage of him was donated to the museum by Heartland Therapeutic Programs in his memory at the depicted Grand Opening.

Lowe's came through with many bulbs and digging equipment.

The purpose of the many gardens (in excess of 100) in the Chattanooga and NW GA area are to memorialize all the children in the world who have lost their lives through violence and war.
