The committee members that assist in organizing the VCC Veterans Day Breakfast honoring our Veterans of Country Creek, have recently met, and planning is under way for another special program. So, please mark on your calendars November 11, 2025, with a start time for the buffet at 9:30 a.m. Last year was a sell out!
We will have the usual wonderful buffet that is put out from our kitchen staff, the Missing Man Table upon entering, a special registration table for our Veterans, tentatively the JROTC from Estero High School with their presentation of colors, the acknowledgment of our Veterans and their service area, and the Tolling of the Bells At 11:00 a.m. This year we are adding a guest speaker with a short presentation about her experience of being in the Pentagon when the hijacked American Airlines crashed into the building on 9/11/2001.
We also would like our community members who enjoy writing poems to submit a poem in honor of our Veterans. These will be put on each table.
Our committee feels it is an honor to help on this special day. The committee is composed of members of the Daughters of the American Revolution local Barefoot Beach Chapter – Mary Ann Baker, Diana Burton, Jane Hopson, and Carole Romp.
