KETTERING Military appreciation
The Southern rock band “38 Special” will headline the third Military Appreciation Night at the Fraze Pavilion Sept. 13 to honor our local Airmen with a night of music and celebration.
“The Dayton Region is known for its support of our local service men and women, and Military Appreciation Night is one more way for us to thank them for their commitment and sacrifice,” said Jeff Hoagland, president and CEO of the Dayton Development Coalition.
This year, the community will once again come together to honor our military with a concert. The concert will be one of many events in the Dayton Region that week, and gives the region an opportunity to show support for the region’s military community.
Other events occurring that week include Life Cycle Industry Days (LCID) and the U.S. Air Force Marathon.
Up to 3,300 tickets will be donated to Airmen and their families as well as other Wright-Patt military personnel through the base. Tickets will also be donated to personnel at the Springfield Air National Guard Base. The concert will feature a military vocalist singing the National Anthem.

DAYTON Constitution Day
National speaker Massey Campos will address a timely topic, “Is the Constitution Really That Important?” at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Sept. 17, at the University of Dayton, Kennedy Union, Room 310.
The public is invited. Admission and parking are free. Refreshments will be served.
Campos’ Constitution Day message commemorates the Sept. 17, 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution.
Referencing their actual writings, Massey clarifies the mindset of our founding fathers.
Study of original documents led him to discover the “self-evident” truths that taught him the true meaning of “the pursuit of happiness.”
With renewed understanding, Campos offers evidence as to whether or not these early statesmen intended for that mindset to change with the times.
A first-generation American, Campos is the son of legal Mexican immigrants who entered the U.S. in pursuit of the American Dream. He served as vice president of the Institute on the Constitution (IOTC), headquartered near Washington, D.C.
Under his leadership, the IOTC’s American Club program brings our founders’ perspective to high school and college campuses across the country.
Campos travels extensively throughout the United States, expounding upon the American view of law and government that grew a fledgling nation into a highly respected world power. STAFF REPORT
