Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

The Armed Forces Day Committee wishes to thank all who helped to make the May 18 event a great success.

We appreciate the efforts of all who volunteered, made donations of time, food and money and those who attended the event.

These include our guest speaker Tammy Wholaver, local officials, service organizations presenting wreaths at the Wall That Heals, providers of military displays and information.

The Jaffa Highlanders and the Northern Cambria Community Band provided music and John H. Eichelberger Jr. and Larry English presented “Taps.”

The efforts of all veterans groups, Vietnam Veterans Chapter 967, Blair County Honor Guard, local businesses, community and individuals were appreciated.

A special thanks to the James E. Van Zandt Medical Center for its cooperation and support and to all those who served and are serving our nation.

It was a special privilege to offer a local welcome to all of the women who have served our country.
