It was a wonderful evening of socializing and remembering for the vets and their spouses. The VFW post members were delighted to be so honored. Many memories were shared, including the Landing at Iwo Jima, D-Day and flying perilous flights in B-29s during World War II. There was a genuine 'Rosie the Riveter" present who had worked on such planes while living in Kansas City.
Many Thanks to the Montrose Community Foundation for sponsoring the event and to Black Canyon Jet Center for hosting.
