We have been invited to attend the 5th Annual Gold Star Dads Family BBQ this Saturday, 04 OCT 14 at Fairmont Park in Riverside.
This is a really great opportunity to meet and visit with many of the Gold Star families we have supported in the past. It is very important for us to continue to support them and show them how much we appreciate them and the sacrifice their loved ones have made. It is also an opportunity for them to reach out to us, to thank us for being there for them in their time of mourning and grief. It is a very important part of the healing process for them.
There will be many special guests in attendance along with the Gold Star Families. The Day will start with a Ceremony which we will stand a Flag Line for. There will be a flag folding and Dog Tag Ceremony. Our Gold Star Families will have tribute and Memorabilia tables setup. Following the Ceremony, there will be food, games and raffles and time to meet and greet.
We will stage in parking lot on corner of Redwood and Market St. just South of the 60 Freeway/ Market St. exit. We will then proceed as a group and roll in to event location nearby just prior to the posting of Colors which is scheduled for 1030.
NOTE: The mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring these Gold Star Families. All are Welcome. Please come for The Flag line and stay if you wish, but you are free to go after the Ceremony.
Time table for Saturday, 04 OCT 140930 - Stage at Fairmont Park parking Lot right inside park on corner of Redwood and Market st.
