Veterans are invited to bring photos from their service and family members may also bring photos of military family members who cannot be present or who have passed away to include in a display at the Smokehouse Gallery for that day only. Artifacts from past conflicts may be included in the Smokehouse Gallery as well. The various branches of the US military will be recognized. At last year’s event, the Army was most represented.
