Recognizing our Veterans! - 11/15/09
Click on the slideshow link below to view some photos from the Sunday after Veteran's Day, November 15th, when Father Sergei honored all the Veterans of our parish. They were asked to come forward to receive a
small token of appreciation - a lapel pin of a cross superimposed on
the American flag.
In addressing the parish, Fr. Sergei noted
that in every generation, men and women of our community stepped
forward to serve, indicating that even now we have a parish
"grand-daughter" going into the Marines.
Each of our veterans
was asked to announce to the parish what branch they served with. In
appreciation, the community joined in a heartfelt "MANY YEARS."The
community adjourned to a festive coffee hour held in honor of our
service men and women. In private, Fr. Sergei presented the widows of
each of our service men a similar pin.
