Lest We Forget: Patriotic Concert at the Mendel Center

Honor our veterans and their families as the Southshore Concert Band joins Lest We Forget in their annual Veterans Day Patriotic Concert on Sunday, November 10th at 2:00 pm at Lake Michigan College Mendel Center in Benton Harbor.

This will be the thirteenth veterans’ concert put on by Lest We Forget and the Southshore Concert Band led by Dale Reuss.  The 90 members of the Southshore Band will be featuring traditional patriotic songs and salutes for the branches of the service. The theme for the concert, America: Land of the Free; Home of the Brave,  is designed to musically assert our American ideals through the performance by the Southshore Concert Band, including instrumental, vocal and visual selections. The men and women who have sacrificed to protect and defend those American ideals as members of the United States military forces will be remembered and honored throughout the program.

Veterans of all conflicts will be recognized, along with a “Tribute to Missing Comrades.” There will also be a salute to each branch of the armed services
