American Lutheran Church, 17200 N. Del Webb Blvd., recently hosted a Veterans Day event to honor the brave men and women who have served to defend the United States of America. The Desert Brass Band played patriotic tunes throughout the event, which also featured spoken interludes by guest speakers from the group.
Mike Vax, a member of the band, was one of those speakers.
He joined the Navy music program and auditioned for the Navy Show Band and was sent to South America to perform. He said the goal was to “make the United States look good.”
