The PebbleCreek 2022 Salute to Veterans event in the Renaissance Theater on Nov. 10 was a spectacular event that featured moving stories, inspirational remarks, beautiful music, and a heartfelt thanks to all veterans.
The day began with a luncheon hosted by the PebbleCreek Quilters, followed by a presentation in the Theater. The quilters presented selected veterans with beautiful, patriotic quilts. The Luke Air Force Color Guard posted the colors, and Jack Gregory served as emcee for the event.
Tracey Littlefield with Karen Peterson on piano performed our National Anthem followed by John Pannell leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Retired Col. Steven Chealander was the featured speaker and delivered a moving speech. “God Bless America” was performed beautifully by Tracey Littlefield and Howard Brodbeck.
As the audience and participants sang the military songs and recognized our veterans, it was a reminder for all to display pride and be grateful and acknowledge all veterans for everything that they have provided for us as citizens of America.
Special thank you to Maj. Richard Froncek (decd) and James Snider for the donation of the military flags, Sandra Hand for the video of our veterans, Karen Robbins for the military pictures on display in the foyer, Matt Drui for lights and sound, and Patti Wegehaupt of the Activities Office, chairperson of this event.
