Program
Andy Thornton introduced Ret. Col. Mike Durham.    Col. Durham gave an eloquent and moving presentation about our nation's veterans and the debt we owe them.   I am certain many of us were moved by his heartfelt words.   To quote his definition of a military chaplain  “The chaplain takes care of the heart of the soldier, for without a cared-for heart, he will not fight.” - God Bess You Col. Mike
