Tree and Menorah Lighting The 13th Annual event hosted by Prayer Angels for the Military

by | Oct 29, 2018 | Community

 It’s a Military Christmas Tree lighting! Heartwarming and fun. Everyone is invited to this very special ceremony to honor our military, past and present, while we celebrate the Christmas season. Dress warm for this annual tradition, held on the first Saturday of December. Hot cocoa, coffee and holiday treats will be provided, as we gather to share in the holiday spirit with prayer, a few words, Christmas songs, caroling, and the lighting of the patriotic Military Honor Christmas Tree and Hanukkah Menorah. Celebrities will also be on hand for this special event.
The beautiful 24-foot pine tree will be decorated with red, white and blue lights, beautiful ornaments and a big bright star on top. Laminated stars and angels with photos of our military, past and present will adorn the tree. Hundreds of photos on Blue Stars represent our active duty servicemembers, some being deployed and missing their families during this holiday season. Photos of our veterans are on white stars and angels. A very special place in the tree is reserved for the Gold Stars, sadly, representing a local family member that has died in service to our country.
The SCV Young Marines, event partners for many years, will again, be placing a wreath to honor our fallen heroes. Also assisting with the event are the American Legion Newhall Post 507, Back to the War Zone and the COC Veterans Resource Center. The Christmas Tree and Menorah will be lit every night through New Years for visitors to come by.
Submit a photo of your loved one (active duty, reserves or veteran) for the tree by November 20th by email: PrayerAngelsfortheMilitary@yahoo.com or mail to Prayer Angels for the Military, 21609 Oak Orchard Rd, Newhall, CA 91321. *Wallet sized photo preferred – in uniform, or not. Include their name, branch of service, rank and service area or theater, if known, along with your contact information. No need to re-submit every year. Photos are saved/scanned into a secure file, just in case damaged stars need to be replaced.
