This year’s festival features fun events and more entertainment for those who who have served and those who appreciate the service the U. S. military.

The festival is designed as a day of celebration and to honor veterans for their service, according to Donna Bindl, Tuesday afternoon, a member of the Support Our Troops committee.

A special visitor will be on hand this year – WWII Navaho Code Talker, Samuel T. Holiday, 94, of Monument Valley, Utah. He was arrested twice during WWII as a Japanese soldier when on duty for the United States. Fortunately for Holiday, he was recognized by commanding officers and was released from custody.
