The Sentinels of Freedom Operation Welcome Home ceremony will be held this year at the Dublin Library Community Room in Dublin, CA at 5:30PM on December 27, 2010. This special event will honor all military personnel who are on holiday leave from Dublin and the rest of the Tri-Valley. As stated in the creed and promise of the Sentinels of Freedom, “We Will Never Leave You, We Will Never Forsake You.”

Representatives from the City of Dublin, the City of San Ramon, and the Town of Danville will host and present individual Proclamations of Special Recognition to each military service member. The public is cordially invited to attend. Following the ceremony a reception with coffee and cookies will be held, so all the attendees may personally meet and thank these brave women and men who are America’s Sentinels of Freedom.
