Wadsworth Theatre 11301 Wilshire Blvd, Brentwood, California 90049
Cost: free
This year I will be hosting with Mr. Billy St. John!!
Over the past sixteen years, we have produced an amazing event at the VA facility in West Los Angeles – the Annual Veterans’ Holiday Celebration.
This year we will continue our legacy of providing homemade meals, gifts, entertainment and a huge holiday party for the men and women who have given everything of themselves for our freedom and our Country.
On the first Sunday of every December, the Veterans Department of Voluntary Services, VA VGLA, Family of Women, Men’s Divisions International, and the community at large, along with over 500 volunteers and local businesses, come together as one. This union of men and women helps us maintain our vision to provide a memorable meal, gifts, and entertainment, as well as much needed appreciation.
We all have one common purpose: a strong desire to give back and honor the men and women who put their lives on the line in order for all of us to live in this wonderful country.
As many of the Iraqi Veterans return with extreme cases of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and physical injuries, it brings to mind just how important the Annual Veterans’ Holiday Celebration has become, by honoring them, welcoming them back and showing, in a small but significant way, that there truly is a home for them to return to.
We thank you on behalf of the Veterans and Active Duty Personnel.
