To all Guadalupe County Veterans and community members on behalf of the David J Flores Veterans center and Veterans we would like to thank all who attended yesterday's Veterans day ceremony. The ceremony was a huge success with over 150 attending honoring our veterans. I want to thank our County Manager Diana Urban and County commissioners for their support, the City of Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa High School and Santa Rosa Mid School students and teachers Ms. Peretti, and Ms. Johnson and Chris Pacheco for the outstanding presentations. The students were very helpful and respectful. We want to thank sponsors United Healthcare Monica and Tommy Lopez, La Villa Herman and Anna Baca, Truck stops of America Gilbert Romero, Dairy Queen's Mr. George Dodge, and our guest speaker Colonel Mary Francis Laumbach for a wonderful speech, also Father Jacob Romero and Deacon Marvin Marquez for the beautiful prayers.Thank You Kameron Urban for being the MC. A big shout out to our Veterans Advisory Committee and the cooks Robert Serrano and Michael Velasquez and all the Veterans who helped with the flags at our cemeteries across the county and other details that made the ceremony a huge success. Here are some pics from yesterday.
Thank You
David J Flores Veterans Director
