The Rotary Club of Dallas hosted a Kick-Off Salute to America’s Veterans 2021 program on July 28th , attended by our beneficiary partners the USO DFW and the GW Bush Institute Military Service Initiative.
The USO provided an update on their temporary USO facility at DFW Airport and announced the opening of a new long awaited USO – opening at Love Field by the end of 2021.   The GW Bush Institute Military Service Initiative introduced Major Sergeant Young.  Major Sergeant Young is a retired US Marine, a Farmers Branch Police Officer and member of President Bush Team 43.  

Rotarians and long-time SAV committee members David Cross, Ashley Givens and Chris Colgin presented the USO and the BW Bush Institute – Military Service Initiative with a check for $14,000 - $7,000 each.  This is the 16th year that the SAV event has presented checks totaling over $579,200.  The Rotary Club of Dallas and the SAV Committee owe a special thank you to all of the Rotarians and outside companies that participates as Sponsors.   They are especially proud of the longtime support of the Perot Foundation and Perot family for their ongoing support and commitment to the event.  

The 17th Annual Salute to America’s Veterans event is scheduled for November 10th – 11:30am – 1:15pm at the Frontiers of Flight Museum with Ross Perot Jr as the Keynote Speaker (see attached Sponsorship Package).  The Rotary Club of Dallas is pleased to host the event and extends an invite to all Rotarians of District 5810 to attend and to reach out and bring a veteran(s).
