5th Annual Veterans History Project & Holiday Appreciation Brunch

The Good Samaritan Project invites you to be part of history at the 5th Annual Veterans History Project & Holiday Appreciation Brunch.

This powerful event combines fellowship, food, and storytelling. Over brunch, veterans will have the opportunity to record their personal military stories with trained interviewers. Each story will be submitted to the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, ensuring your service and sacrifice are remembered for generations to come.
