Phillip Smith has shown dedication to the veteran community for decades and has actively advocated for both veterans and their families. He has also served as the Local Coordinating Officer and has been instrumental in the success of the annual Toys for Tots program during the holiday season.

The annual event will also include remarks from Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud.
