Those who have served in the
military will be honored Sunday, June 29, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. and Thursday, July
3, 2014 at 7:00 p.m., at Lifetree Café, which meets at West Des Moines United
Methodist Church, 720 Grand Avenue, West Des Moines, Iowa 50265.
The program, titled "Saluting
Those Who Serve," features a screening of the award-winning short film Memories of the Tuskegee Airmen. The film
includes interviews with surviving airmen and shares the story of their
struggle, as black Americans, to serve their country as pilots during World War
II.
“At this program, we’ll honor
both veterans and those currently serving in the military,” says Lifetree
representative Craig Cable. “This is a chance to thank the men and women who
serve as well as their families.”
