Last Year's Event

November 6, 2010 at Faith Evangelical Free Church

On Saturday, November 6, 2010, we held our 7th Annual Veteran’s Celebration sponsored by Christ Center Community Church, Dayspring Christian Church, Faith Evangelical Free Church, Good Shepherd Chapel, St. Peter’s Anglican Church and Timberline Church.

We honored the Veterans of the Gulf War, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War. We also specially recognized 11 World War II Veterans. Pastor Richard Foth, Timberline Church served so ably as Master of Ceremonies. Heather and Brian Ivers were featured speakers. Brian has been deployed to the Middle East on three occasions with the Marine Corps Reserves including to the Gulf War and the Iraq War. Heather has not only survived those deployments with their children but has counseled other families of deployed Reserves. Their presentations were sobering and inspiring. They are bright examples of the heroic nature of our Military Service Members and their families today!

We saw a short DVD segment of Chaplain Doug Mikkelsen who was deployed with the Army Reserves in Afghanistan during our event. He showed us some snippets of the Army Camp including his office and the Chapel. We were graced with wonderful Music by the Vocal Octet and the Master’s Brass Quintet from Faith Evangelical Free Church. Most of all, it was simply fun to rub shoulders with other Veterans and friends of Veterans.
