The Veterans Band of Corpus Christi is celebrating 40 years of honoring those who served, and Nueces County commissioners took time to recognize the group today.<\/p>\n

The band formed in June 1986. Since then, community donations have helped the musicians travel to places like Washington and Hawaii.<\/p>\n

For the band’s members, their mission goes beyond putting on a good show.<\/p>\n

“We continue supporting our community by our honoring because we don’t entertain we come to honor our military, our veterans, and our communities,” Ram Chavez said.<\/p>\n

The band is now preparing for an upcoming trip to Las Vegas and says it is grateful for the community’s ongoing support to keep the music playing.<\/p>\n
