The Bar Association Supports and Celebrates our Vets!

By Jamie W. Goncharoff, Esq.

Proudly, with the announcement by CCBA President Brian L. Nagle, the Bar Association has established the Veterans’ Affairs Committee. Shortly after the announcement, some 20 Bar members jumped on board and have agreed to help lead the charge to accomplish the mission of the committee. The mission of the committee is to study and make recommendations, provide educational programming, and coordinate countywide efforts on legal matters affecting active, reserve and National Guard military service members, retirees, veterans, and their families. The committee will also work with the courts to support the Chester County Veterans’ Court, as well as support the Bar Association’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony.

And speaking about our Veterans Day Ceremony, on Friday, November 10, 2023, at 3 PM, this year’s spectacular Veterans Day celebration will take place outside the Historic Courthouse in West Chester. In addition to military aircraft flyovers, our Guest of Honor will be Congresswoman Chrissy Houlihan, a US Air Force veteran who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and on the Foreign Affairs Committee. The courthouse will be patriotically decorated, and the Valley Forge Military Academy Regimental Band will be performing prior to their participation in the New York City Veterans Day Parade the following day. Revolutionary War reenactors and veteran organizations will also be participating alongside of active-duty service members, all in an effort to make this year’s Bar Association’s Veterans Day celebration the best ever!

Express your patriotism and come join your fellow Bar Association members, dignitaries, and fellow citizens for a memorable celebration, to be followed by a free reception, with good food and drink – on a Friday afternoon!
