the American Soldier in
Cape Girardeau,Mo.
The 2009 Missouri Veterans Home tour continued with a stop at the facility in beautiful Cape Girardeau, in southeast Missouri, on June 18. A packed house of residents and their families, staff and friends enjoyed an afternoon of music and dance as Lois Ann performed her vintage USO-style show, "A Tribute to Love." Special thanks are in order for the staff of the home, as well as Southeast Missourian, who covered the event beautifully. Kudos to Reporter Erin Easton and Staff Photographer Elizabeth Dodd for their excellent work. Watch the video from Lois Ann's trip to Cape Girardeau!
