Although every effort was taken to be sure this list was accurate, if someone was missed, please know we do appreciate and Thank You for your service.
So far, the Town only has the following four pictures and would appreciate getting more pictures from the service people. If you were one of the service people who were honored with this celebration, we would like a picture from each of you for our archives.

Below are just a few of the pictures of the event.
