The lady who started it was a teacher. She would have her kids present flags, sing the anthem and usually give a really brief reading. Then lunch.
All volunteer. Takes about 30 people and two days of cooking for an hour long lunch. But it draws in 300-400 hundred veterans (and their spouses) from across the region and lets them know they are appreciated.
No giant parade, no grandstanding. If a politician shows up, no politicking.
That's low energy. No pop. Will get horrible ratings.
Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
