    National Veterans Day Celebration in Birmingham, Alabama

    November 10-11, 2025


    The Banquet is hosted by the National Veterans Day Foundation and will be held at the Sheraton Hotel, Birmingham Ballroom, on Monday, November 10.  Reception will begin at 5pm and dinner will begin at 6pm.  We already have purchased one-8 seat table.  Please help to ensure that we fill it with GSW members!   There are still a few seats left on the first table, but they are going quickly.  We can purchase another table but we would like to have enough members to fill it.  


    First come, first served for seats at the table already purchased.  Tickets before August 31st are $75.00.  Tickets purchased after that date will be $100.00.  All banquet reservations and ticket reimbursals need to go through Sandra Robertson (contact below).
