Veteran Appreciation Event - Briggs Auto - 11am-1pm

BRIGGS TO HOST VETERAN APPRECIATION EVENT

Military veterans will receive a well-deserved salute at a free event hosted by Briggs Fort Scott on Thursday, August 31. The recognition will be held from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the dealership at 1819 S. Main St. The special event is part of the Midwest For Dealers' "4-State Heroes Appreciation Tour" in partnership with KOAM-TV and FOX 14.

Veterans and those currently serving in the Armed Forces will receive a free lunch at the dealership as a thank you for their service. Family members are also welcome to attend. Those wishing to nominate a loved one to be recognized as a 4-State Hero will be able to do so at the event.

KOAM-TV President & General Manager Danny Thomas said "It's an honor to provide our military veterans with a public acknowledgement of their service through our 4-State Heroes platform." He continued, "Since we launched 4-State Heroes in 2005, thousands of area veterans have been honord." Once a nomination and photo are received, the heroes are recognized during a KOAM or FOX 14 Newscast and become part of the website, www.fourstateheroes.com, dedicated to 4-State Heroes.
