Dear Veterans and family,
On behalf of the City of Creola and our community, we are honored to invite you to a special Memorial Service Picnic dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the brave men and women who have served our nation.
This gathering will be held on Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. with food being served at noon, and we would be privileged to have you join us. The event will take place at our Creola Veterans Memorial Park, where we will share food, fellowship, and a moment of remembrance for those who gave their lives in service to our country.
We are also pleased to share that representatives from the Disabled Veterans Leo Dubose Chapter 35 of Saraland, Alabama will be present. They will be available to assist veterans with potential claims, answer questions, and provide helpful guidance regarding available benefits and resources.
Your courage, sacrifice, and commitment have shaped the freedoms we enjoy today. This picnic is a small gesture of our deep gratitude, and we hope it provides a meaningful opportunity for connection, reflection, and appreciation.
Please consider this a heartfelt invitation to attend, and feel free to bring your family. Your presence would truly enrich the day.
With respect and gratitude,
Donald E. Nelson
Mayor
