SUMMARY:Veterans Day Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Open to the public and all veterans\, seating will be available. \nA Veterans Day Ceremony to celebrate and honor America’s veterans for their patriotism\, love of country\, and willingness to serve and sacrifice will be held on Saturday\,  November 8\, 2025\, at 11 a.m. at the Frisco Veterans Memorial in Frisco Commons Park\, 8000 McKinney Road\, Frisco\, TX 75033. The American Legion Post 178 and Auxiliary Unit 178 are coordinating the ceremony.

His experience has recently been chronicled in a documentary\, Vietnam: The War That Changed America\, released on Apple TV+. \nJohn Bagwell is a Vietnam Veteran who served in the US Army as a DJ / announcer for the American Forces Radio Station. He was wounded during the Tet Offensive during the siege of Hue\, South Vietnam\, where he received the Bronze Star with a “V” device and the Purple Heart. \nHe was part of the only American Forces Radio or Television Station to be taken by the enemy during any war.

SUMMARY:Frisco Purple Heart Monument Dedication (09/20/25)
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE!! The Frisco Purple Heart Monument team invites you to join us in honoring America’s heroes at the dedication of the new Purple Heart Monument at the Frisco Veterans Memorial on Saturday\, September 20\, 2025 @ 9:00 AM. More than a medal\, the Purple Heart is a sacred emblem of sacrifice\, awarded to those combat veterans killed or wounded in service to our nation. It bears witness to courage unshaken and the profound price of preserving our freedom. We extend our sincere gratitude for your financial contribution\, which played an important role in enabling our Purple Heart monument project to be fully funded through donations. \nPlease wear your American Legion Cap. \nFrisco Purple Heart Monument Dedication\nFrisco Veterans Memorial – Frisco Commons Park\n8000 McKinney Rd\, Frisco\, TX 75033\nSaturday\, September 20\, 2025 @ 9:00 – 10:30 AM \n \nDedication Event Speaker – Captain Florent A. “Flo” Groberg\, U.S. Army (Retired)\nRecipient of the Medal of Honor\, Bronze Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster\, and the Purple Heart \n \nWe are confident that the final three-piece\, seven-foot-tall design will be well received\, reflecting the honor\, dignity\, and reverence this monument deserves. Guided by meaningful input from local Frisco veterans\, including Purple Heart recipients\, it will stand as a lasting tribute of remembrance and gratitude for their noble service. One noteworthy aspect of the monument is the inclusion of two Honor Guard sentinel figures—intended to inspire a deeper sense of solemnity and respect. \n \nThis addition stands as a fitting tribute\, joining our Frisco Veterans Memorial site that already honors service and sacrifice through its many cherished elements: the original 1948 Frisco Garden Club Veterans Memorial urn\, a solemn Battlefield Cross\, plaques recounting 17 wars and conflicts since Frisco’s founding\, the Veterans Walk of Honor\, the Frisco KIA Wall of Honor\, the POW/MIA flag and plaque\, the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument\, and the inspiring World War II Flyboy statue. Together\, they form a place of honor\, remembrance\, gratitude\, and enduring respect.

SUMMARY:Wreath Retirement Day - Date Changed to January 18
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThis event is an opportunity to come together again and honor our veterans by retiring the remembrance wreaths. It’s a family-friendly activity\, so feel free to bring your loved ones\, including children. The work is light\, and many hands make it even more enjoyable! \nWhat to Bring:\n\n\nWork Gloves – Essential for handling the wreaths.\nBroomsticks (without the broom) – Surprisingly effective for gathering multiple wreaths at a time.\nGarden Wagons (if you have one) – Great for transporting wreaths to the roadside in each section.\nTrucks and Trailers – While box trucks will be onsite\, additional vehicles are always appreciated.\n\n\nProcedure:\n\n\nStart in any section\, ideally where you laid wreaths.\nUse broomsticks to gather wreaths and stack them near the road.\nTrucks will transport the wreaths to the dumpster south of the Administration building in the new pit area. Volunteers will be available to guide you.\nPlease park on the right side of the road to ensure enough space for trucks to pass.\n\n\n      **ONE-WAY traffic will be observed throughout the cemetery for safety and efficiency**\nAdditional Opportunities: \nRESTOCK THE LOCAL FOOD BANK!\n\nThis holiday season has been challenging for many North Texans. On January 11th\, let’s continue spreading kindness by bringing non-perishable food items. A collection truck will be stationed at the main entrance to receive your donations as you come in Saturday.

SUMMARY:Fellowship Power Lunch Veterans and First Responders Appreciation Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: SFC John Wayne Walding spent 12 years in the United States Army\, including seven years in the Special Forces Group at Ft. Bragg\, North Carolina. He served in Iraq and Afghanistan\, and during his career at 3rd SFG\, he served on ODA 396/3336 as a Special Forces Communications Sergeant and the Sniper Detachment as a Sniper Instructor. \nIt was during the harrowing battle of Shok Valley on April 6\, 2008\, that John would lose his leg to a sniper\, and yet returned fire for four more hours with his severed lower limb tied to his thigh\, earning him the Silver Start and Purple Heart. \nPost-injury\, John attended Special Forces Sniper School and upon graduation became the first amputee ever to become a Green Beret Sniper. He refuses to let his injury be the last chapter of his story. \nJohn’s awards and badges include Silver Star\, Bronze star\, Purple Heart\, Combat infantry badge\, Airborne air assault and the special forces tab. John participated in numerous battles during his deployments; most famous was the Battle of Shok Valley\, which you can read about in the book “No Way Out: A Story of Valor in the Mountains of Afghanistan” by Mitch Weiss and Kevin Maurer. \nIt is our honor at Fellowship Power Lunch to give something back. Join us November 19\, 2024\, for our Annual Special Event honoring those who serve. \nDoors open at 11:00; presentation of the flag starts at 11:30. \nIf you’re a veteran or first responder\, we would love to honor you at our Veterans and First Responders Appreciation Lunch.
