Germanna Foundation's Luminary Tribute to Veterans, November 11, 2021

Описание: On Thursday, November 11, 2021 the Germanna Foundation honored all veterans by illuminating the grounds of the Fort Germanna Visitor Center with luminaries. They held a ceremony in which we rang the bell in Germanna’s Memorial Garden in honor of all the veterans. People purchased a luminary which was labeled with a veteran’s name and branch of service, as seen in this video.
