In a community such as this, where values like respect and patriotism are held in high regard, Branson Bank will honor four area veterans for their service to country and community. Each veteran was selected and honored throughout 2024 and will officially receive their public recognition at the event by way of flag raising.
On Friday, September 20, the community is invited to join the hometown bank at their annual Veteran Rise & Shine Service at their Highway 248 location just before 7:30 a.m. to witness the recognition of local veterans Roger Womack, U.S. Navy; Kathryn McAllister, U.S. Navy; Franklin Baker, U.S. Army; and the 56th Branson Bank Veteran of the Quarter, soon to be announced. The bank’s large, garrison-sized flag will be raised in their honor while Bob Smither plays “Reveille” on the trumpet.
"It is an honor and privilege to recognize local veterans and share their stories,” said Bill Jones, President/ CEO, Branson Bank. “The service and sacrifice made by each of these men and women can never be repaid, yet we offer our sincere gratitude to each of them and their families.”
The ceremony will begin promptly at 7:30 a.m. Additional parking is available in the parking lots of Hobby Lobby and Harbor Freight. Refreshments to include coffee by Vintage Paris, and muffins will be provided starting at 7 a.m., while supplies last.
The Branson Bank Veteran of the Quarter Program began in 2009 as a commitment to honor men and women living in Stone and Taney counties who have served our country's military. Nomination forms are available at each bank location and online. Veterans are selected by a committee comprised of past Veteran of the Quarter honorees.
