By From staff reports 1 min read

WEIRTON - A veterans recognition luncheon will be held at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, hosted by the parish's A.H.E.P.A. and Philoptochos Society, honoring the courage, sacrifice, dedication and contributions of those who have served the country.

Invited guests will gather at the church Sunday for the event, which will begin with the unveiling of the parish's "Wall of Honor," a permanent tribute commemorating five All Saints parishioners who were killed in action during World War II.

The memorial will serve as a lasting reminder of their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

A luncheon will follow, recognizing living veterans who have served in the armed forces of both the United States of America and the Hellenic Republic of Greece, celebrating the bonds of heritage, patriotism, and service uniting the parish community and the two nations.

The program will conclude by honoring the parish's "Rosie the Riveters," the women whose contributions supported the nation's efforts during wartime.

Through these three tributes, All Saints Greek Orthodox Church seeks to honor not only those who served on the battlefield and far from home, but also those whose contributions at home helped shape our history.

Starting at /week.
