The North Coast Chamber of Commerce held its annual Veterans Day Luncheon, and saw more than 100 attendees pay tribute to 25 local Veterans in attendance.

The event was held on November 11 at Avon Oaks Country Club and featured a keynote address by Colonel Jim Riley (U.S. Army, Ret.).  And through a generous gift from an anonymous donor, each Veteran received an American Flag, a special flag encasement, and a Veteran Challenge Coin.

The Chamber extends its thanks to Ray’s Auto & Truck Service, Stack Heating & Cooling, and Apex Skin for underwriting the luncheon as Presenting Sponsors.

Several member businesses also contributed to the event by hosting a Veteran’s lunch, including Navigate Risk Advisors, North Coast Rotary Foundation, Premier Fleet Care, Peter & Co. Jewelers, Minuteman Press-Westlake, Preferred Vascular Group (Cleveland West Vascular Care), A&M Financial Group, SES Sustainable Energy Services, and HomeTeam Inspection Services.

Thank you to all who attended this solemn event, and to all Veterans we extend a sincere, “Thank you for your service to our country.”
