Keep the Spirit of '45 Alive!

On Saturday, August 14th the retirement community of Pacific Springs Village held an event to celebrate and commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the end of World War II. So by invitation, Dave, Jeff and I went to represent the 2nd I.D. and put on a display to honor our World War II veterans and their service. Over 400 people were in attendance at the event, many of them residents of Pacific Springs Village and their families. The Avi8ors musical group performed a "USO style" show featuring popular songs from the 1930's and '40's. There was also a lot of great food from the 40's era which the fellas and I devoured over a quick break in the action. Dave represented the U.S. Army, Jeff took care of the Navy, and I proudly donned the Eagle, Globe and Anchor once again to honor the U.S. Marines. It was a really fun and family friendly event and one that I was extremely glad to be a part of.
