The photo below shows the Vietnam Veterans of America, VVA Chapter 1069, of El Campo, that attended the National Guard Family Day event at Ryan's Lake. The VVA Chapter members helped setup the food serving line and then also served the food to all the National Guard and their family members. Estimated overall attendance to the event were 200+. Leonard Sternadel, President of VVA Chapter 1069 would like to thank all those VVA chapter members (and spouses) that came out to help with the event.
The above photo shows the members of VVA chapter 1069 getting ready to serve the food to the National Guard and their family members.
The chapter members and spouses that attended the event were: Louis & Carolyn Milder, Augie Limas, Harold & Rose Peikert, Ron Miller, Paul Francoeur, Mark & Berna Pilcik, and Leonard & Dana Sternadel.
The main course included BBQ Brisket, hotdogs and hamburgers.
A huge tent was setup to provide cover and a place to eat for all those attending.
Many attending National Guard and family members took advantage of the lake to cool off!
A BIG THANKS GOES OUT TO THE MIKE RYAN FAMILY FOR SPONSORING A "NATIONAL GUARD FAMILY DAY" EVENT FOR OUR LOCAL NATIONAL GUARD UNIT. PLEASE REMEMBER, THESE MEN & WOMEN OF THE NATIONAL GUARD MAY BE "CALLED UP" AT ANY TIME AND SENT INTO ACTIVE DUTY! GOD BLESS ALL OF THEM!
