For the 29th consecutive year, we were able to provide community members with a vivid reminder of what 56 men signed their names to on July 4, 1776 by reading the full Declaration of Independence from the Rockingham County, Virginia Courthouse steps.
​
As with so many previous years, we're honored by the support of the Beaver Creek Long Knives as well as attendees from many other patriotic organizations.

On June 30 Compatriots Ros Poplar, Wes Dove, and Randy Atkins participated in Veterans Night at the Ballpark. The Massanutten Mountaineers of the Rockingham County Baseball League recognized all Veterans in attendance. The game was sponsored by Shenandoah Valley American Legion Post 188. Zachary Pritchard joined us as well, representing the Virginia Army National Guard Recruiting center. Pritchard and our current president, Ros Poplar, engaged in some healthy Army/Navy competition by each throwing out a ceremonial first pitch to start the game!
