City Park Center Hosts Veteran's Appreciation Day 2008

Celebration Veteran's Day at City Park Center
By: Paul Moore, Recreation Coordinator at City Park Center

The Salisbury Parks and Recreation Department along with children attending the Terrific Turkey Tuesday program at City Park Center, hosted an appreciation party for three active National Guardsmen (Salisbury) and four local retired veterans on Tuesday, November 11.  To honor their service to our country, children in attendance prepared delicious doughnuts and served hot chocolate to the guardsmen and veterans.  Following the party, each veteran shared stories and discussed their assigned duties within their respective branch of service.  Stories shared included memories from the Korean War, World War II, serving as a physician on a naval transport and serving as flight engineers and air commandoes.  The National Guard unit in Salisbury also arrived in their special fire truck and shared the unique features that it contained to help protect those in need at home and abroad.  Following the appreciation party the children and staff joined others in the community to watch the Veteran’s Day Parade.   

Salisbury Parks and Recreation would like to send a special thank you to those who came to our program as well as to thank all active and retired servicemen and woman who serve with a sensational desire for duty, honor and country!
