organizations took part in the Expo. Organizations and individuals exhibit
important artifacts from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, the Civil War,
and the Vietnam War.
Local groups offer ways to get involved, such as gathering goods to send to deployed troops. The VA and other organizations present information about services available to veterans of any age. There will once again be a presentation about TRI-Care for retirees and a Kids' Area will feature activities, games, displays and even face painting.
