Prince William Chamber of Commerce:Â “The Prince William Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the 2023 Salute to the Armed Forces event headlining speaker: Wounded Warrior Project Warriors Speak Spokesperson Danielle Green.”
“Danielle Green is a former Notre Dame basketball player, who is the 17th -leading all-time scorer for the women’s team. Green graduated from Notre Dame and enlisted in the Army during the Iraq War, sending her to the frontlines in 2004 as a military police officer.”
“Danielle’s post was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, injuring her and blowing off her lower left arm. She joins the event to tell her story of resilience in the face of challenge, coming back from her injury to become an inspirational speaker and learning how to live a life with new purpose.”
“Each year, the Salute to the Armed Forces honors the military presence in Northern Virginia, recognizing the veteran community and business community that supports our military. This year’s program includes the National Anthem sung by D.C. sports singer Dwight Clyde Washington, the Presentation of Colors, and the POW/MIA ceremony.”

The Fredericksburg City Council took a significant step toward attracting data center development on Monday, January 14, by voting unanimously to initiate amendments to the city’s 2015 comprehensive plan, unified development ordinance (UDO), and zoning map. The proposed changes aim to establish a Technology Overlay District (TOD) that would designate roughly 250 acres in the city as a site for data centers and related uses near the Fredericksburg Nationals stadium.Â
Currently, the city does not have server farms like those sprouting up in surrounding jurisdictions, such as Stafford, Spotsylvania, Prince William, and King George counties. Unlike their neighbors, the city has far fewer acres of land to devote to the sprawling tech campuses.Â
“This is a critical opportunity for Fredericksburg to position itself as a competitive player in the tech industry,” said Mayor Kerry P. Devine. “By concentrating development in a single campus-like district, we can ensure infrastructure is used efficiently while minimizing environmental and community impacts.”
At the Jan. 13 meeting, the Manassas City Council unanimously voted to increase the city’s towing fees.
The “light duty” basic police accident tow and clean up — which includes the towing and removal of a car involved in a crash and cleaning the crash site of minor debris — fee would increase from $290 to $375. The non-accident fee — requiring a vehicle to be towed not in the case of an accident — would increase from $210 to $250.
Supporters of Donald J. Trump gathered in Haymarket on January 20, 2025, to celebrate the inauguration of the 47th U.S. President at a watch party hosted by the Bull Run Republican Women’s Club.
The sold-out event, held at Giuseppe’s Ristorante Italiano, drew attendees from across Prince William County and as far away as Peru. Organized under the leadership of Carol Fox, the watch party was described as a joyous occasion that brought local Republicans together to celebrate and enjoy the historic moment.
“The event was a chance to bring Republicans together and have fun watching the inauguration,” said Fox. Adding to the festivities, a dance contest to the tune of “YMCA” delighted guests, with prizes awarded for the most Trump-inspired dance moves. Proceeds from the event will support the Bull Run Republican Women’s Club’s college scholarship program.
