In honor of Veterans Day, Degage Ministries will recognize those who have served in the United States Armed Forces with its Veterans Day lunch on Friday, November 9, from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm at 200 Division Avenue South.
More than 200 homeless or otherwise marginalized veterans are expected at the organization’s annual event, featuring speaker Denny Gillem, LTC, United States Army (Ret.) and host of the syndicated radio show Frontlines of Freedom. The vets will be recognized with a pinning ceremony and gifts, as well as music provided by the Catholic Central Choir.
Media are welcome to attend. The formal program will begin at 12:00 pm. Degage Ministries executives and patrons will be available for interview on the importance of recognizing these often forgotten veterans.
