Pause For Patriotism

The Mission of the Pause for Patriotism Committee is to instill a Love of our Country, demonstrate an attachment to the land and people, an admiration for our customs and traditions, and a devotion to the welfare of our Country, in our children and their families through the annual Armed Forces Day celebration and other activities throughout the year. At the Armed Forces Day celebration, children, scouts and all in attendance will have an opportunity to bond with numerous First Responders and Military Personnel, and develop a positive image of the U. S. Armed Forces, family, country and the meaning of patriotism. There will also be great entertainment, food, and beverages for people all ages.
