On the right is Ron Keeler a Korean War Navy veteran who served on the committee to put together the day's festivities.

Lower left is Virginia Kilmer, who served as a coder and translator in the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy and is currently with Valley Health Systems.

374 veterans entered the gate for free that rainy but enjoyable day. Counting the 50 or so we had on the grounds helping put things together we had over 400! We hope that even more will attend in 2009.
