Several events were held in Clovis on Veterans Day in honor of those who have served our country
Hundreds of veterans gathered for a pancake breakfast in Clovis to foster a common bond over their shared time serving the country they love.
“It doesn’t matter your rank, rate, or service because we’re all one group. We’re all veterans, that doesn’t matter if you’d have three weeks in the Military or 30 years. We’re all the same,” said Cristofer Thrailkill, a retired US Navy and US Air Force servicemember.
Close to 700 veterans met at the Clovis Veterans Memorial District.
Along with the breakfast buffet, the day’s events also featuring a patriotic concert, vintage car show, as well as a moving photo exhibit.
The event bringing together the next generation of service members and veterans past.
“You have the Junior ROTC, Boy Scouts, you have young Marines, you have the Navy cadets. You have everybody here. They’re all going to help. Because what we’re trying to do now is have the veterans mingle with people and actually get out and enjoy the day,” said Thrailkill.
