Veterans’ Pride Band Performs for Firefighters at Northeast Washington Fairgrounds

The Veterans' Pride band, of American Legion 146, performed a concert Sept. 8, for firefighters at the Northeast Washington Fairgrounds. According to post commander Marvin O’Hearn, the Veterans' Pride band aims to help disabled veterans through music, and they had the idea of sharing their music with firefighters. “We received rave reviews from the firefighters and have been asked to play again in the future,” O’Hearn said. “We just can't explain the joy we feel when we see the smiles on the faces of the people we perform for.”
