It goes without saying that everyone involved has expressed a desire to not be recognized for their part in making such a memorable event happen. Each individual, department and veterans' group has selflessly come up alongside us to generously offer any assistance needed.

With one goal in mind... to make the welcome home and rally for Marine Moreno and our Gold Star Families a community event to be remembered long after the flag lines have dispersed. By honoring them, we are honoring all those who have, who will and who are serving this great country selflessly for our Freedom.
