This week’s photo was sent to us from Dégagé Ministries and features Heartside resident Thomas Carpenter receiving his pin from Dégagé’s Executive Director Marge Palmerlee. Dégagé Ministries held a Veterans Day luncheon on Monday, Nov. 11, to recognize homeless and marginalized veterans from the Heartside neighborhood. The event was hosted by Denny Gillem, LTC, US Army (Ret.) and host of the radio program Frontlines of Freedom. The music was provided by the Catholic Central High School Choir. Employees from SpartanNash, Blue Cross Blue Shield and students from Northpointe Christian Schools volunteered at the event. The veterans were served lunch, received gifts and were recognized in a pinning ceremony.
