  • Sponsor of Tahoma National Cemetery. We sponsored the dedication ceremony at this national cemetery.   We have also been a sponsor at every Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremony held at this national cemetery since it's opening.  We are generally the first to arrive, set up our stage for the dignitaries, and set up tents for the stage, bands, and news media.  We also provide and operate the public address system for each event.  Then we are the last to leave as we break down our equipment.  We do this to honor those who have served our Country.  See the "Tahoma NC" tab at the left for photos.

 

  • Member of the Tahoma National Cemetery Support Committee.   To assist the above ceremonies.

 

  • Sponsor of the Kent VFW.  We allow the VFW to set up during our Kent Cornucopia Days festival.  We also grant money for use by this organization.

 

  • Sponsor of the traveling Vietnam War Memorial (2002).   We supported the Vietnam Veterans Memorial 20th Anniversary Celebration by sponsoring "The Moving Wall" at the Washington Memorial Park at SeaTac, WA during October 2002.
