Salute in Song Recap
The Tiger Team represented the museum at the 'Salute in Song' concert performed by the Longmont Chorale Guild on Sunday May 4th.
The event was held in the Vance Brand Civic Auditorium at Skyline High School. The focus was on Vietnam Era Veterans. Many veterans organizations were present including American Legion Post 32, the publishers of the popular Veterans Life magazine, and the Longmont VFW organization.
Jim Hart, Jim Mize, Rich Swanton and Craig Wolverton manned the museum's table in the foyer, making contact with about 200 participants as they entered and exited the facility.
In addition to the inspiring performance by this great Chorale, the Vietnam Lapel Pin was awarded in a ceremony that included a Color Guard and each attending Vietnam Era veteran appeared on stage and received his/her pin from Gene Schiferl, who is a Vietnam veteran of the Air Force and Army, flying the Cessna L-19/0-1A Bird Dogs aircraft used to locate the enemy and coordinate air control.
Congratulations to all the pin recipients and a gracious thanks to American Legion Post 32, our friends at the Veterans Life magazine, the Longmont Chorale and all those who planned and executed this event!
