Take Time to Honor is our way to remember the brave military personnel who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. This three day event is a solemn occasion to commemorate their bravery. We would be honored to have YOU join us and become a part of this touching community tribute.

and leave you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours,
to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
-- Abraham Lincoln, November 1864
