Special guests included Governor Robert Bentley, Congressman Robert Aderholt, Mayor Ken Sunseri. Gospel music singer and recording artist Karen Wheaton preformed and literally brought the large crowd to their feet.
With a special commendation signed and presented by Governor Bentley, more acknowledgements of the occasion followed from Congressman Aderholt and Mayor Sunseri.
