Hospice of Texarkana will host its 4th Annual Veterans Appreciation Picnic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, May 15, at 2407 Galleria Oaks Drive, Texarkana, Texas. The event is free and open to all current and former members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
The heartfelt celebration honors the service and sacrifice of America’s veterans through food, live entertainment, and fellowship. Attendees can enjoy hot dogs, potato salad, chips, drinks, and more, and are encouraged to bring a lawn chair for outdoor seating.
“We have had a commitment to our local veterans for years now. As time goes by, our dedication to their service and sacrifice has become more important to this organization,” said Cindy Marsh, Hospice of Texarkana executive director.
Beyond the food and festivities, the picnic is designed to foster community while giving veterans a chance to connect, share stories, and spend time in a supportive, respectful environment.
“They seem to enjoy the event so much. For them, it seems to be a time of fellowship and gives the community an opportunity to honor them for their service,” Marsh said.
