This year’s theme, “Thanksgiving of Praise,” reminds us that freedom is never free — and gratitude is more than a feeling. It’s a response. A calling. A celebration of lives lived in service to something greater.
This event is dedicated to:
Veterans who served with courage and conviction
Active Military who continue to defend our freedoms
Gold Star Families who carry the legacy of loved ones lost in service
First Responders who gave their lives protecting our communities
We will also recognize local heroes — first responders from our region who were killed in the line of duty. Their names will be spoken. Their stories will be remembered.
Guest speakers from across the community
Live music by Dennis Calmes and his daughter Jennifer
A keynote speaker to be announced soon
A free meal for all in attendance — because fellowship is part of healing
This is a family-friendly event with space for reflection, celebration, and connection. Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or simply someone who wants to say thank you — you belong here.
Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025 Time: 10:00 AM Location: Oaks Pavilion Park, Government Street, Denham Springs, LA (Next to the Livingston Parish Senior Citizen Office)
Bring your family. Invite a neighbor. Help us fill the park with love, gratitude, and praise.
We remember. We honor. We stand together ,— for those who gave all, and those who carry on.
In a world that moves fast and forgets easily, this day is our chance to pause. To remember. To honor. To give thanks.
We believe in the power of community. We believe in the strength of shared stories. And we believe that when we stand together — across generations, backgrounds, and beliefs — we become stronger, kinder, and more united.
