It was 100 years ago at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, November, that the hostilities of World War I ended. It is more important than ever that we take the time to recognize, honor and thank the men and women, our veterans, for keeping us safe and free.
2018 is also the 100th Anniversary of Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America,” which will be a featured part of the program as sung by the East and West Show Choir. This year’s Salute will have a USO theme with several musical and dance groups featuring 1940s music. The Show Choir will also lead the ever popular Armed Forces Salute recognizing and honoring veterans from the five military branches as they stand when their military song is sung. Audience members are welcome to bring and display photos of family veterans as their service song is sung.
