We at the Douglasville Police Department want to express our gratitude for the men and women in the armed forces who actively serve or have served in the US Military. What better way to show our appreciation than a cookout and fun time allowing active duty and veterans to attend a day on our front lawn with their family members? We hope all military members will join us as we celebrate together on August 12, from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. We will be cooking out hamburgers and hot dogs while playing games on the front lawn. Bring your lawn chairs and Adirondacks and set up to enjoy a warm summer day.
We would like to have a good head count, you do not need to sign up, but if you know how many people will be in your party we would appreciate anyone who can advise us ahead of time for food purposes.
