This event is to honor those who have served wars going back as far as WWII. Which includes the Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War, Gulf war, and the Iraq-Afghan War. This event brings to light the compassion, bravery, selfless service, and sacrifice of both the Men and Women who have served our great country.
