A free, family-friendly community event with fun, food, music, resources, and support for rural military & the people who stand beside them!
Operation Honor: Rural Salute NC
May 16th is going to be a good day in Sanford. And this one’s for everyone.
Food trucks. Live music. Local vendors. Kids running around. And right alongside all of it, some of the most valuable resources a rural veteran or military family can access, brought directly into your community at no cost.
This event is for everyone and it was built with veterans in mind.
If you live here, love someone who served, or just believe your community deserves more than it’s been given, you belong here. Bring your kids, your neighbors, your veteran, your spouse, your parents. Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready for a genuinely good day.
Operation Honor: Rural Salute is not a formal event. It’s a community day that happens to have some of the most important veteran resources in North Carolina under one roof.
