Three Centuries of Freedom

Over Two Centuries ago, the United States began as an experiment in self-government and freedom and has endured since then. Today, its democratic way of life remains an example to the world. One of the principal reasons for its longevity is the fact that generation after generation of brave souls have been willing to defend it. From Lexington, Mass., to Gettysburg, to Belleau Wood and the Ardenne Forest; to Iwo Jima and Midway; to Pusan and Inchon; to Hamburger Hill and Hue, to the Middle East and the War on Terror; our Nation has been blessed with the courage of men and women from all walks of life who were and are willing to step up and defend our way of life. We owe each and everyone of them a deep measure of gratitude.

Come one and all and honor our veterans at the Shenandoah County Fair on the 27th of August.
