This Sunday, August 7, at 9:30AM, we will observe our annual Atomic Bomb & Vietnam Memorial Service.
You may recall that a couple of years back, VHBT adopted the eight fallen soldiers named below for acknowledgement and remembrance each year. Once again, we honor their ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we appreciate today in our country and community. Please join us on Sunday.
