4th Annual "Honoring Those Who Serve" Luncheon

Event Description

We honor America's veterans and our military for their love of country and their willingness to serve and sacrifice for the preservation of our freedoms. This annual luncheon will honor individuals who have made an impact in the lives of other veterans or active military members.

This year our keynote speaker is Louis Zamperini.

Louis Zamperini is one of America's greatest heroes. An Olympic runner and WWII POW, his inspirational life story was recently chronicled by Pulitzer Prize winning author, Laura Hillenbrand in the book Unbroken.

This year's Honoree is Damaso Sutis.

At the age of 17, Damaso became a U.S. Marine at the height of WWII. Just one year after enlisting, he found himself dodging gunfire on the beach of Iwo Jima. He retired after enduring three wars during his 24 years with the USMC.

Friends of Veterans is the annual giving club for U.S. VETS.  It is comprised of individuals and organizations that make a yearly pledge, thus becoming partners in our efforts to support veterans’ needs.
