Cellie Dach knew she wanted to honor area veterans, but she just wasn’t sure how to do it or when.
“I’m very patriotic,” Dach said. “I had brothers in the Navy, and I feel that without our veterans, this country would be nothing.”
Dach serves as president of the Light of the World Roman Catholic Church seniors’ organization. The group of more than 160 provides social activities and spiritual direction to senior members of Light of the World and the surrounding community. Membership is open to anyone in the area age 55 and older.
After four months of planning and many “ups and downs along the way,” the inaugural veterans’ celebration came to fruition last Friday at Light of the World’s community center.
