We just had our annual Saluting Military Recruits ("SMR") event today.  What the event is about:  We invite new military recruits and their recruiters from all 5 branches of the Military to our event.  We also invite the recruit's families and local veterans.  We supply free drinks and snacks to all who attend. We give each recruit a free SMR t-shirt and during a procession ceremony we give each recruit a SMR Certificate of Appreciation welcoming them into the military and thanking them for choosing to serve and protect our Country.  We had about 100 recruits at today's event, plus their recruiters.  Many of the recruit's family members and local veterans also attend. All 5 of the Military branches participated.  The Travis Air Force Base Honor Guard presented the Colors.  We want to thank all of the recruiters for their support, the local people and organizations, and AMVETS Hayward Post 911 who all donated and supported us allowing us to put this on. For more details please visit our website: www.SMR1.org.  Next year's event will be on Saturday, 4 June 2016.  We had a GREAT event - Thank you to all !
