On Saturday, September 19, 2015, the staff of the Savolskis - Wasik - Glenn Funeral Home, Inc. along with Stratwood Catering and Save-Mor Pop and Beer Warehouse hosted it's first Veterans Appreciation Day at West Mifflin Park and Ryan Hacke Memorial Playground. A memorial service was held to remember veterans who passed through the funeral home in the last two years. It was also a day to honor all veterans either home or abroad who are still in harms way.
A delicious meal was served by Stratwood Catering after the memorial service and the beverages were provided by Save-Mor Pop and Beer Warehouse. After lunch, musical entertainment was provided by American Band.
Raffles and T-shirt sales generated more than $2,600 which was donated to Operation Troop Appreciation. OTA provides services for veterans returning home and support to those who are still in harms way over seas. A great time was had by all.
