Old-Fashioned USO Canteen Veterans Day Celebration

Description

For almost forty years, Rest Haven Funeral Home and Memorial Park in Rockwall, Texas, has taken great pride in honoring our local veterans with various programs and celebrations. This year, Rest Haven will again recreate the nostalgic atmosphere of an old-fashioned USO Canteen, with festive decorations and music. The Rest Haven staff will be serving hot coffee and donuts, complements of the Rockwall Starbucks at Hwy 66 and Lakeshore, and Jimmy's Donuts in Royse City. All local veterans, along with their family and friends, are invited to the funeral home to enjoy these treats “drive thru” style. “We will be decked out in our red, white, and blue at the port a cache on the north side of our building,” said Nancy Starnes, Family Service Manager. “Whether they want to drive through and enjoy our celebration from their own cars, or park and stay awhile, we hope that everyone will stop by and join us in this fun event to honor our veterans.”

“We can never give back enough, or find enough ways to express our appreciation to all the men and women who have served our great nation,” said Dewayne Cain, President and Founder of Rest Haven. “All our efforts to say thank you to our veterans are heartfelt, and our entire Rest Haven staff considers it a privilege to participate in any opportunity to express their gratitude.
