Each issue of "DMV Shorts" features unique stories about men, women, and children from the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia doing great things. This is an independent publication that strays from traditional publications by diving into educational, historical, and obscure facts.

In the February issue, you will find editorials about:

• Special needs students from the Earl L. Pulley Career Center in Alexandra, Virginia operating a café.

• Shakina and Dawud Rawlings from Alexandria, Virginia choosing to do things together.

• A group of devout Catholics from Alexandria, Virginia that planned a celebration to honor the Blessed Mother on her birthday.
