Wise County Veterans Group Texas

We enjoy bragging about our Veterans! Please help us congratulate (Jimmy) Don Alexander who has been a member of our group since 2010. A Congressional Gold Medal Recipient is quite an honor!

Please join us at the Wise County Health & Wellness Expo, tomorrow, Friday September 25th! Decatur Conference Center from 9:00 - 1:00. We have some great raffles (see pictures in comments) plus lots of stuff from our museum store.

Greeting Charles Braun at the Boyd High School was County Judge J.D. Clark. He was escorted into the school by Judge Clark and Wise County Sheriff Cary Mellema. Along with Judge Clark, Mayor Rodney Holmes, Rep Andy Hopper, Peter Plank (whom escorted Charlie to Normandy last year), a spokesperson for the Patriot Guard Riders, and the entire Boyd School system, gave honor to our special veteran honoring his 100th birthday. Charlie had his family in attendance to include relatives from Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
Happy Birthday Charles Braun!!

Charles Braun , WWII Veteran, was honored in Boyd with a parade for his 100th birthday! He was driven by Sheriff Cary Mellema, and followed by Rep Andy Hopper, Boyd Mayor Rodney Holmes, the Wise County Veterans Group, the Patriot Guards Motorcycle Group, the Boyd Police Department, the Boyd Fire Department, and several others. He was greeted by many Wise County folks and most of the Boyd School kids and teachers. The honoring of Charles Braun is in the next set of pictures to be posted.

Here are just a few photos from Charles Braun Birthday Celebration last Saturday. Thank you for those who stopped by to wish him well. And thank you to Boy oh Boy Bakery & Deli in Bridgeport for making this cake.

Charles Braun, our WWII Veteran who also served in Korea & Vietnam, will be celebrating his 100th birthday at Raising Cane's this Saturday, September 12th! Come join us there (across from Texas Motor Speedway)! Charles will be there from noon - 4:00pm. Have a bite to eat as a percentage of sales during that time will be donated to our Veterans Group.
