On November 10, 2026, the Lake Federated Republican Women’s Club proudly celebrated the 14th Annual Welcome Home Veterans Luncheon, honoring more than 200 veterans who have served our great nation.
We were honored to welcome Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, along with our many distinguished speakers and guests, who joined us in recognizing these remarkable men and women.
The program featured guest speaker LCpl Tim Wilkins, USMC (Ret.), and a special Table of Honor Ceremony performed by the Cadets at a local High School JROTC.
A very special thank-you to the Honorable Larry Metz and our own Lou Brown, whose vision 14 years ago brought this meaningful tradition to life. Their commitment has allowed us to continue honoring our veterans year after year.
Most importantly, to all who have worn the uniform and answered the call to serve, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your dedication to protecting the freedoms we hold dear.
May God bless our veterans and may God continue to bless America!
