On Saturday, November 10, 2007, the West Georgia Area was invited to the Veterans Park for a special Veteran's Day Program. It was a time to honor all those who have served or are serving our Country. Larry Jennings welcomed everyone and introduced Bill Cowart, who gave the invocation. Roger Knowles and Jeff Jennings honored two more soldiers who were killed in action and have their names placed on the KIA Wall. The grand finale was the "fly over" by two pilots.
