Salute to our military
May is Military Appreciation Month and there are a number of holidays and events in honor of all our veterans, reserves and active-duty personnel. Everyone knows that May 31 is Memorial Day. In addition, May 15 (Saturday) is Armed Forces Day. May 1 was Loyalty Day, May 7 was Military Spouse Appreciation Day and May 8 VE Day. For those in the Chico area who would like to celebrate the armed forces, Sons of the Fallen: A Live Tribute to Our Military Heroes will be shown Tuesday (May 18) at 8 p.m. at Tinseltown. Below is a rundown of active-duty military personnel by branch and location as of December 2009.
