All Villagers, especially Veterans, are invited and encouraged to attend this year’s Memorial Day Tribute on Monday, May 26 at 11 a.m. in Cribari Auditorium.
This event will feature a “Say Their Name” segment—an opportunity for audience members to recognize and honor a service member they knew. Musical tributes will include a 20-voice chorus, solos by Bill Rodman and Margaret Orandi, and Catherine Ellacer as director with Tammy Welsh on piano.
The featured speaker will be our special guest, Lt. Col. P. Walker Pearce-Percy, a 2001 U.S. Air Force Academy graduate with a degree in Civil Engineering. Lt. Col. Pearce-Percy attended pilot training at Columbus Air Force Base, and in 2008 he was assigned to fly the C-5 at Travis AFB. He is a command pilot, having logged over 4500 hours in both airlift and tanker aircraft including the KC-135. He also is currently a commercial pilot for United Airlines. His many awards include the Meritorious Service Medal with four oak leaf clusters, the Air Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Air Force Commendation Medal, and the Air Force Achievement Medal.
Stand with us as we recognize and honor those veterans who could not be here today. (There is no cost to attend and registration is not required.)
