A Night to Remember

Picture this: a warm atmosphere filled with laughter and camaraderie, where war veterans gather to share stories and enjoy a delicious free steak dinner. Yes, you read that right! Thanks to the generosity of local sponsors and community donations, we aim to provide as many free meals as possible to our St. Cloud veterans. So, if you know a veteran or are one yourself, this is your night!

The evening will kick off with a presentation of Colors, followed by a 21-gun salute honoring those who have served. And let’s not forget the poignant sounds of T.A.P.S., which will remind us of the sacrifices made for our freedom.
