Dr. Allan W. Stevenson, who sponsored the whole event. Most of all, thanks to our veterans and military for preserving our freedom.
Quality of life was changed for several of the veterans by giving them the ability to eat again and smile with confidence. It was so good to see so many businesses come together to show appreciation for those who have given so much for us. One of our veterans even entertained people with some magic tricks.
