VETERANS
APPRECIATION DAY
JUNE 11, 2016
We honor those who have protected our nation, our freedoms, and our way of life. We are who we are because they are who they are. They did the things they had to do. God bless them all.
The community of veterans is large and varied. All are welcome at Veterans Voices Military Group events. In this photo a proud member of the Women’s Army Corps, and previous participant on Honor Flight Chicago, renders honors to the flag.
We remember those no longer with us.
Members of Veterans Voices Military Group, and the attendees, render honors as “Taps” is played.

Jim Kruse, founder of Kruse’s Krew (an organization supporting deployed service members with “care” packages) was the keynote speaker for the event.
Food makes any event even better, especially when it’s free!
“The Legacy Girls” provided the entertainment for the event, dancing while singing favorites from the 40s and 50s.
