"Thank You Veterans" program & reception

Thank You Veterans is to thank our veterans and current military who have served our country. It is a patriotic program with color guard, music, &, to also raise donations for a VA non-profit.  This year it will be Freedom Heroes USA, with Allysa Lynhardt, as our guest speaker.  Allysa has designed a veterans and a service flag to be flown throughout our county. Her organization raises funds for 2 medical clinics in our area to help the veterans transition when they return home.  We honor our veterans by letting them inrtroduce themselves, if they wish, and give them a gift. The program ends with more patriotic songs and a reception with beverages and cupcakes.
