The 2020 Veteran’s Day will be on Wednesday, November 11th. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many veterans and their families suffered a tremendous loss of their beloved ones.
The Greater Princeton AYLUS (GPA) cares for the veterans, from donating personal protective equipment in March to now making a special virtual concert “We Serve Those Who Served” for all veterans, including residents at over 160 Memorial Homes across the country, including the three memorial homes in New Jersey, all sponsored by the United States Veterans Affairs Department.
GPA member Xinyi Christine Zhang (10/27, 4 hrs; 10/31, 4 hrs; 11/5, 4 hrs) acted as the director and edited this concert video. President Cassie Tammy Wang acted as the producer. Here is the YouTube Link of the concert (https://youtu.be/Faz-6OK8I7o) and some feedback:
