Las Vegas, a city synonymous with entertainment, is set to host an historic event, “Day of Gratitude,” on June 8, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium, celebrating Veterans, Armed Forces members, and their families. Presented by CityServe International and Voice of the Veteran, the event is a heartfelt tribute to the valor and sacrifices of America’s service members.
The initiative, led by Peter Palivos, Chairman of Voice of the Veteran, and Dave Donaldson, CEO of CityServe, aims to honor the nation’s heroes. Their efforts, combined with support from the Raiders’ organization, have made this day possible.
Peter Palivos shared, “I extend to all Veterans and Military members a heartfelt invitation to join us in commemorating this historic event dedicated to honoring our Nation’s Heroes. Their presence will help unite our country and pay homage to the true 
guardians of our freedom. I also want to thank Raiders President Sandra Morgan and team owner Mark Davis for their unprecedented understanding, contributions and support.”
Dave Donaldson remarked, “Amidst wars and rumors of war, it’s time to salute and celebrate the brave men and women who’ve put it all on the line to protect the free world. Without the help of Mark Davis, President Sandra Morgan, and the Raiders organization we wouldn’t be able to make this happen to show honor and respect to our service men, women, and their families. We are thankful for their support.”
The Day of Gratitude offers a variety of family-friendly activities, with free admission for Veterans, Armed Forces members, and their families and is not open to the general public. The event will also distribute over $3 million in Compassion Gifts and features for children such as sports drills and the opportunity to meet NFL legends.
Las Vegas Raiders Captain Robert Spillane stated, “I am honored to work with my friend, Voice of the Veteran Chairman Peter Palivos, and CityServe to honor our Military and Veteran heroes for their service to our country. I play football because of the freedoms I enjoy because of sacrifices made by our Veterans and Military.”
The event also emphasizes support services for Veterans and their families, featuring over 30 booths dedicated to health, wellness, employment, education and much more.
Day of Gratitude is more than an event; it’s a significant occasion in Nevada, aiming to be the largest ever to honor Veterans and Armed Forces members. It reflects the collective appreciation of a nation for its defenders.
ChurchLV’s involvement, coordinating volunteers and emphasizing community support, highlights the importance of giving back to those who’ve served. This collective endeavor by CityServe International, Voice of the Veteran, and ChurchLV embodies unity, respect, and gratitude.
