Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Christmas music just does it to you, doesn't it?
Hany good morning in Schmidty, but also community coming together.
And I gotta say I'm biased, but I think Michigan
does it best, especially in Ross Township. This is just
outside of Kalamazoo where one of the things that maybe
a lot of people don't think about with the federal
government shutdown is that also impacts national cemeteries around the
(00:23):
country that may not be able to support Veteran's Day
program if the government remains closed through this upcoming Tuesday. Well,
Fort Custer National Cemetery could not let that happen. Just
ask Colonel Frank Walker. He sat down with wood TV
eight and said, they are making this happen and it's
all thanks to the local community. Walker, as president of
(00:44):
the Military Support Groups of America as well as the
chair of the Fort Custer National Cemetery Advisory Committee, me
said everyone has shown up. They have donated a stage,
loud speakers, chairs, They are even able to organ is
a flyover to kick off the ceremony plan for eleven
am on Tuesday, And he said this means so much
(01:07):
to him, but he's not surprised. This community always steps up.
This show.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
This show those guys in Washington that they're not going
to stop us. But it certainly means a lot to
me as a fellow venture But I will tell you
that I didn't expect any less. I've been within this
community for seventy five years. I grew up in this committee.
I didn't expect any less. I knew these folks would
come together.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
He knew these folks would come together. It's pretty powerful stuff,
he added. Organizers will probably need a little help setting
up on Tuesday. If you would like to be a
part of this and thanking our men and women in uniform,

and just walk in as a member of the public
around ten am on Tuesday. I've got all the info
