Organization Name: American Veterans Honor & Reflective Remembrance Committee
Our Mission: American Veterans Honor & Reflective Remembrance Committee
Our Mission: Our organizational creed is rooted in honoring all American Veterans by providing high-quality, historically inspired Military Entertainment Events. Through engaging musical entertainment, exceptional entrée and dessert choices, soft drinks and donated treats in prepackaged goody bags for each guest. We aim high to celebrate veterans, share their stories, and create meaningful opportunities for fellowship, patriotism and voluntary community service.
We welcome all participation from local York college and high school students, as well as members of Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, heritage girls, sea cadets, ROTC students and senior citizen volunteers. As part of the Spartan Network at York College, we have an open opportunity for their students to volunteer for event setups, day of plug and play assistance, videotaping events and interviewing our honored veterans as needed. We offer community service hours for their involvement at any function. Our events are always family-friendly, and no alcoholic beverages are served.
A military Chaplain, pastor or community priest is present at every event for our blessing, and we honor both living and fallen veterans with the playing of Taps. Our committee and staff uphold the highest standards of integrity and professional service, ensuring that every attending veteran receives exceptional care and respect.
As our organization grows, we remain committed to honoring veterans from all eras—including post-Korean War, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and current U.S. engagements around the world. We strive to create uplifting experiences filled with period entertainment, great food, and camaraderie for veterans and their families.
Our goal is simple: to offer veterans a well-deserved day of joy, perhaps even to feel 18 again, whether they’re listening to the timeless sounds of post-WWII and 1950s Doo-Wop, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, the Grass Roots, or any other musical period from the 1970’s through today.
We will never forget the sacrifices made by our nation’s patriots. Please remember to thank the servicemen and servicewomen you meet, they represent our modern “Greatest Generation” and your gratitude matters.
