Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth hosts celebration of veterans
Four hundred veterans from every conflict dating to World War II attended a luncheon at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth Friday. This was the second"Roll Call" luncheon at the base.
"This flag that hangs right here is a product of your service to this nation," Commanding Officer Mark McLean told the group. NAS JRB hosted a roll call luncheon last year, and McLean said he would like to make the luncheon an annual event. Smaller events have also been held at other locations nearby. McLean said the events can give veterans a chance to connect. He said the celebration with veterans can also help the 10,000 active duty members of the armed forces at the base understand the importance of their service.
