Every year we take time to give thanks and recognition to all of our military personnel who have given so much to secure our freedom. This year we are pleased to welcome back HOA Board member Jack Gregory as our special guest speaker. Jack Gregory retired from the Air Force at the rank of colonel in October 2007. His last active duty assignment was as Vice Commander, Eleventh Air Force (Pacific Air Forces), Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. His other assignments include flying duties throughout the U.S. and Europe as a Pilot and Instructor Pilot in the F-4 and F-16, and staff assignments in South Korea and at the Pentagon. He commanded at the squadron and group levels, was qualified as a joint specialty officer and is a former Vice Commander of the Air Force Flight Test Center.
We will also welcome some other very special guests, including the Luke Air Force Base Color Guard, the PC Singers (A Few Good Men), Bev Griggs, Dance Fusion, Jean Gwyn, Becky Trimble, and Keith Haar. This special afternoon promises to create a spirit of patriotism and gratitude, a spirit that we can share with each other as we celebrate and appreciate all of the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. Once again this year, members of the PC Quilters will honor veterans with a special quilt presentation. Come and be counted as a thankful citizen of PebbleCreek, Arizona, and the great United States of America. Wear your red, white, and blue, and come celebrate with us in the Renaissance Theater! Tickets required. Inquire in the Activities Office for availability.
