We had a luncheon (free for veterans, minimal charge for others) for our resident veterans with lovely patriotic decor in the room. I played (you tube) the March for each branch and had our veterans from each stand up during their march to be recognized. I played a fairly bipartisan speech from a former president about Veteran's Day.I also contacted “The Quilts of Valor” organization and was able to get 21 patriotic quilts for our resident veterans (2 for widows of veterans). It is a very moving ceremony, to call them up, put their quilt around their shoulders, thank them for their service and present the official Quilts of Valor certificate. Everyone was very moved. The veterans’ group photo with their quilts was in the local paper.
