The Knox County Lincoln Reagan Dinner was held in the beautiful Historic Woodward Opera House in Mount Vernon, Ohio on Friday, April 22. I appreciated the location, the attendees and the guest speakers. Oh, and the food – especially the cheesecake… I am always impressed by our Party’s commitment to honoring our men and women who are serving or have served our country. Chairman Thom Collier asked all veterans and military members to go to the front of the room so we could thank them all for their service. My husband is third from the right. As the daughter of and wife of Air Force veterans I truly appreciate the gesture. As the mother of an active duty Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, I am grateful.
