The American Bald Eagle Festival will host two veterans from recent U.S. wars as part of its six-day celebration of America’s bird.
“To me, veterans and the eagle go hand in hand. This is a way we could say ‘thank you’ for putting your life on the line so the rest of us could sleep at night,” said Bill McRoberts, a volunteer for the American Bald Eagle Foundation who also works on veterans’ healing issues.
