By: MBK Senior Living
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - July 2, 2019 - PRLog -- In honor of McDowell Village Senior Living's 53 resident veterans, the community is hosting a star-spangled celebration on July 5th. In addition to the unveiling of an all-new Honor Wall, festivities will include a color guard presentation, a brief award ceremony for all veterans and reception. City of Scottsdale Councilwoman Suzanne Klapp, and nominee for state representative in Arizona's 6th legislative district, Walter Blackman will be in attendance.

"Our veterans deserve our recognition, respect, and gratitude," said Michael Brown, the executive director of McDowell Village. "There is no better time to extend our sincere thanks to the McDowell Village residents who have served the various branches of the U.S. military."

"We're honored to have Councilwoman Klapp and Walter Blackman speaking at this event and assisting with the presentation of certificates to our veterans," added Brown.

Included on the Honor Wall that spans 22 feet, are photos of each resident veteran (from when they served and today), the branch they served and length of service. All five of the US Military Branches (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard) are represented, as well as the National Guard and British Royal Navy; and includes servicemen and women from nearly all ranks. The Honor Wall will remain in McDowell Village as a long-standing tribute to resident veterans for their selfless service and sacrifice.

"The Honor Wall is just one small way we can show our appreciation for our resident veterans' brave service to our country," said Brown. "It is truly our honor to now have the opportunity to serve them at McDowell Village."
