Showing our appreciation for our military, past and present, is something everyone can, and should do. Almost every single person in our region has someone they know who has served or is currently serving our country. From our ancestors to our kids, America is everyone's responsibility. However, only our finest actually sign their name on the dotted line and put on a uniform to defend our nation's honor and preserve the rights of every citizen. It is appropriate that we do something for those who have given so much to us. We feel that a weekend designed specifically for all who have ever served our country and their families is a gift we can all give!
