We will never forget…
Skip Thomas is the kind of friend everyone should have at least once in their lifetime. He is kind, generous and genuinely cares about everyone he meets. But his true passion is to honor our military women and men. So having him as our Kidder County Veterans Officer seems like a match made in Heaven.
Last year Steele held our first memorial service to honor and thank our veterans. If you were there you will never forget the camaraderie, the food, the guest speakers and the empty place setting at the table for the ones who will never come home for supper again.
If someone you love has fought in a war you will never forget the way your heart sinks when you hear on the news that the area they are stationed at has been bombed. You will never forget the sleepless nights of prayer. You will never forget that first letter home that says I’M SHORT! (Meaning the days to come home are getting shorter) You will never forget the sight of their dear face when they step off the plane and stand on North Dakota soil.
So this year call Skip and find out what you can do to help make this 2nd annual veterans day event at the Steele Vets Club on Saturday May 24th starting at noon a day YOU will never forget. Call him at work at 701-475-2632 EXT 9226 or at home after 5:00 pm 701-475-2132. His e-mail is agthomas@state.nd.us
