Hope of America

The new director at the Visitors Center, the Mitchell's, had a vision to organize a Memorial day celebration to honor veterans. They had seen this program in Provo and obtained permission to use the songs and theme and to put on a smaller version of the same here. There were about 500 plus people in attendance and the program was great with 120 children singing. Sister Mitchell prepared a book with certificates & info about many of the veterans from the area, with many of them in attendance. I think it will be even better next year. Lots of flags, fun patriotic songs, flag ceremony and t-shirts for all the kids....sorry to say the wind blew and it was very cold. But it did not rain as the weatherman had predicated!
