Veterans Appreciation Week Coming in Branson, MO

By
Industry Observer

One of the best things about Branson, (heart of America to me) Missouri is their honoring of American Veterans.  People who have risked life, limb, career, and more to protect and serve the home of the free, are our heros!

Branson Veterans Website

Welcome to "Veterans Homecoming Week" November 5-11, 2009

"American tribute to ALL Veterans" Our Theme for 2009 is: Branson Doesn't Forget "Our Military and their Families" America's largest Veterans Day celebration, special events, many of which are free and all of which present patriotic salutes to veterans.

Words are inadequate to describe the many moving moments as Branson entertainers and community members, young and old, pay tribute to America's heroes.
 

 

This year we will be honoring our Veterans with a week of special events you will find at the above website.  Registration will be at one central location this year to make it easier to find and get all the info you need:

Headquarters & Veterans Village will be located at the Cobblestone Inn, Suites & Conference Center, 276 Tanger Blvd., behind the Peppercorn Restaurant on Hwy 76, Branson, MO. Vendor booths will be open from 9:00a.m. (0900 hrs) to 4:00p.m.(1600hrs).

Because I am a Vietnam Veteran I know how important this is to those who have given so much and gotten so little thanks from those whom they have served.  Make sure you thanks to a vet this year, I will too.

Great cause; I think we could have a Veterans Day appreciation everyday and it would not be enough to thank all those that give and gave so dearly.

Very nice post Steve. Branson does a wonderful job, I believe, of honoring our Veterans. This celebration is just another example I haven't been through all the museums in Branson, but there are many.

As Susie said, Thank You Steve for your service to our freedom!

Well, I sure want to know when you do, don't be like my cousin and call my house on a Fiday morning and say since I am not home they are sorry they missed me while they were here on vacation.  Call my cell or email me before you come and we will do lunch!!!
