Support Our Troops of Highland County and the Highland County Humane Society will celebrate Armed Forces Day on Saturday, May 18 at Liberty Park from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

On Wednesday, Commissioners Shane Wilkin, Tom Horst and Jeremy Shaffer proclaimed National Military Appreciation Month in Highland County.

National Military Appreciation Month, as designated by Congress, provides a period encompassing both the history and recognition of our armed services with an in-depth look at the diversity of its individuals and achievements.

It allows Americans to educate each generation on the historical impact of our military through the participation of the community with those who serve encouraging patriotism and love for America.

This month gives the nation a time and place on which to focus and draw attention to our many expressions of appreciation and recognition of our armed services via numerous venues and also to recall and learn about our vast American military history.

The May 18 event at Liberty Park will celebrate appreciation for military personnel and help raise awareness about animal cruelty.

The Humane Society also will host a Walk Against Animal Cruelty.
