A big thank you to all who participated in the annual Voices of Freedom concert at the New Covenant Bible Church. It was fantastic. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication. It was awesome seeing all the vets honored.
The Vietnam-era vets got a special welcome home. I know it brought tears to my husband's eyes. He never served in Vietnam but was in the Navy in the Mediterranean. A vet who did serve in Vietnam pointed out that all who served at that time deserved to be called Vietnam vets. That made my husband feel proud. Thanks for the service, all vets, and to all participants for a special Fourth of July event.
