This is an annual Veterans Day ceremony honoring all those who have served our country. This musical tribute ceremony will include a live band, live singers, and recorded music; all performed to the backdrop of a slideshow of pictures that depict the many veterans and eras of conflict they represent.
This is the 25th Annual event and we are so excited to continue this honorable cause that was started by Perry Giles and David Hudgins back in 2000, before the tragedy of 9/11.
Continuing with our service, the Armed Forces Medley will be played to honor each branch of service and our distinctive "Veterans Present Today" section will honor those veterans who have served in each era of conflict from World War II to the present.
The ceremony is concluded with the POW/MIA Empty Chair Ceremony as well as an outdoor Memorial Service to honor all those who we have lost. This Memorial Service is concluded with a Military Style flyover that is always a crowd pleaser. We include the Memorial Service at the Veterans Day event because these heroes should be honored every day of the year and shouldn't be relegated to just one specific day. We also don't have a Memorial Day ceremony, so this helps us to honor those who are so deserving of the recognition.
