Congressman Don Manzullo to Keynote Stand Down for Veterans

McHenry County Blog has learned that Republican Congressman Don Manzullo will keynote the opening ceremony of the Veterans’ Stand Down being held beginning next Monday morning at Camp Algonquin.

All veterans are welcome to come and receive services or just meet other who have served in the Armed Forces.

I can attest to the quality of the lunches. Last year a volunteer brought a pineapple upside down cake that so reminded me of the ones my mother used to make.

Illinois Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth was the main speaker last year.

Manzullo’s staff will also staff a table, which will offer assistance.

The event is sponsored by the NASA (National Association of Systems Administrators) Educational Foundation.

Volunteers are still being sought. The linked article tells of a 7 PM Wednesday meeting at NASA Education’s headquarters, north of Crystal Lake at 3305 South Route 31. It’s at the top of the hill north of Terra Cotta.
