Tribute to our Veterans - Past & Future

This year at the SVIA St. Patrick’s Day Party we were honored to have Korean War Veteran Marty Johnson join us for our corned beef dinner. Below is a picture of Marty when he served and more pictures as Marty carries in the flag and leads us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Thank you, Marty for your service.

The last picture is that of Patrick Sullivan and his grandmother, Beverly, attending the May Party and Patrick’s last event for a while as he has signed on with the Army for a three-year term of service. He starts boot camp this month and will subsequently be involved in his line of specialty, HVAC.

Patrick’s departure left a space open on our board. While Bob & Ann Eichstaedt were joining us at our May Party, Bob inquired about joining our Board. He will now be taking over as Sargent-at-Arms. Below is our current, updated SVIA Board Members.
