Jim reminds us that as we honor those who have served our country this Veterans Day, it’s a good opportunity to save the date for the annual Armed Forces Thanksgiving, a unique event that only takes place here in West Michigan each May. Armed Forces Thanksgiving, which brings together high school students from more than 50 districts across West Michigan for a special Thanksgiving-style lunch with business leaders and members of the military – past and present – during Armed Forces Month in May. The 8th annual Armed Forces Thanksgiving is Friday, May 19th at the J.W. Marriott in Downtown Grand Rapids.
