Veterans Day
It’s all about remembering where we come from and why we have the lives we live. Members of Veterans Voices Military Group do remember. We take our experience to our community to keep the service of our veterans, and the need to support our veterans, foremost in the public eye.

We were able to reinstitute our Veterans Day Pancake Breakfast this year, and what a great success it was. Veterans Voices Military Group and the United Methodist Men of Faith UMC worked together to sponsor this event. The breakfast was free for everyone, but free will offerings were accepted with the stated purpose of providing postage funds for Kruse’s Krew to send holiday packages to our deployed troops. $1120.00 was collected and donated to Kruse’s Krew.

2020-2021
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there were no Veterans Day pancake breakfasts either of these years. The Veterans Day Service normally conducted at Faith United Methodist Church was available only on-line and was a video of a past observance.
