On August 22, 2019 we partnered with our friends at Hospice of the Valley to honor the many members who bravely served our country. Eleven veteran members were awarded with pins, certificates, flags and plaques. This event was cosponsored by the DAV and Marine Corps League Veteran Volunteers who presented a formal flag ceremony that included “Taps.” Members also enjoyed special music by Bill Costas and Bob Ochtyun. Bill Costas closed our ceremony with an especially beautiful folk rendition of John Newton’s “Amazing Grace.” Many of our members and guests had tears in their eyes including me!
