God and Country celebration
Hear the “I Salute You” choir in honor of our active military, veterans and first responders. This community-wide effort to sing “praises” to God and the hundreds of soldiers in the golden corridor from San Antonio to Austin, and Blanco to Seguin, will be a huge effort to say “Thanks” for the great sacrifices made for us at home and abroad. The event takes place at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, in the Veramendi Grand Ballroom of the Embassy Suites, San Marcos Conference Center on McCarty Lane.
