🇺🇸 Do You Know the Difference? 🇺🇸

There are several important military holidays in the U.S., and each one honors service in a different way.

Today (May 16) – Armed Forces Day
👉 Honors those currently serving in the U.S. military.

May 25 – Memorial Day
👉 Honors those who gave their lives in service to our country.

November 11 – Veterans Day
👉 Honors all who have served, past and present.

Each day matters. Each story matters. ❤️

Join Bowling Veterans Link in taking a moment to recognize the meaning behind these days.

It is with sadness to let our bowling community know that Fred Gunckle has passed. PRays to family.

It is with great appreciation that we acknowledge the life of Al Sanchez, a talented musician and dedicated member of our association, who will be deeply missed. His presence at tournaments was always met with recognition and warm camaraderie, as he kindly took photos with fellow competitors, leaving a lasting legacy.

It is with a heavy heart that the Sanchez family shares the devastating and untimely passing of Al Hurricane, Jr.

He was a New Mexican music legend to all, but to us he was an amazing father, grandfather, sibling, son, and friend. We truly appreciate all the prayers & support. We respectfully ask for privacy as we mourn as a family.

¡Qué viva El Godson!

Two of our own board members were choose to attend this event. Thank you Nick Balisterri and Natashia Lucas.
