The American Legion Post 102 and AMVETS Post 0770 hosted a Veterans Day ceremony and craft fair at Tucson Estates Memorial Park. Several veterans I talked with say they feel honored to see the community come together to show appreciation for their courage and sacrifice.Next to the wall of handwritten thank you notes from children to veterans was a table filled with photos of vets and marine gear.Spotted in one of the photos is Cris Cowan, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served for 24 years.
'You know, sitting in Iraq through the Internet and that felt nice. And also, being in touch with my other kids.”One of the vendors at the event, Kelly Straube, is a U.S. Navy veteran. She served for just under two years. After leaving the service Straube started her business, Dirty Cactucs Soap & Gifts.“It's humbling, you know, cause sometimes you think about all the people that lost their lives,' said Straube.
