A day spent honoring vets...

In commemoration of Victory Day, Holocaust survivors came together to enjoy lunch, music, and honor World War II veterans during the Jewish Family Service Victory Day Luncheon. To conclude the event, each guest placed flowers on a Holocaust monument as tribute to those who lost their lives during the war and to honor the victory of the Soviet Union over Nazi Germany.
