Carson Nugget event helps veterans bring traveling memorial to town

Carson City, NV—Another Carson Nugget event will help bring the Vietnam Vets Traveling Memorial Wall to Carson City this fall.

During the entire month of June, the casino held a slot event to support this worthy cause. Today, the casino presented a check from the event to the Vietnam Veterans of America, Carson Area Chapter 388. Today’s check brings the total amount donated to this cause from the Carson Nugget to $2,000, which is just under a quarter of the group’s entire goal.

Rick Arnold, who heads the veteran’s group and is spearheading the effort said, “The sign outside the front of the Carson Nugget says it all; ‘The Community Casino.’ The casino has always been there for Nevada veterans and for us, no matter what. We really do appreciate them and these efforts show they appreciate us.”

Star Anderson, General Manager of the Carson Nugget said, “We are honored to support this worthy cause. Many Carson Nugget employees are eager to volunteer to support the casino’s efforts in helping our veterans. This is but a small way to say ‘thank you’ to the men and women who have served and sacrificed for our country.”

In May, the casino also held a Bingo event to support the cause.
The veteran’s group is hoping to raise $10,000 to bring the Traveling Vietnam Wall tribute to Mills Park for the inaugural celebration of “Battle Born Days” in Carson City in October. There is no admission to see the Wall, but there are considerable costs associated with its visit that must be underwritten.

The mobile memorial travels to cities across the United States serving as a tribute to fallen soldiers. It also serves as a way to educate children about the hardships and sacrifices made by our military’s men and women.

The traveling exhibit is one of several military exhibits scheduled to be displayed during a new event called “Battle Born Days” which will be held during the annual Nevada Day weekend celebration from October 25-28.
