Veteren's Day Program

The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said

"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations

This was a very moving and inspiring program, honoring the fallen men and women who gave their last full measure of devotion so that we can remain free.  We had many guests.

Jeff Alvis was in charge of the program.  We had a speaker from the VA in Shreveport.  The patriotic decorations were done by Donna Maisel.  It was a wonderful patriotic program.
