Veterans Chorus Spotlight 🇺🇸
Jeff Cade – US Navy; E-5 2nd Class Petty Officer; December 1975 - December 1979
Jeff’s favorite memory with the Veterans chorus is singing the National Anthem at Men’s and Women’s Bobcat Basketball Games.
Outside of singing, he enjoys volunteer work with Love In The Name of Christ, The American Legion, Kitchen volunteer at Camp on the Boulder, Trinity Church ministries, camping, 4 wheeling, hunting, fishing, kayaking & rafting.
One lesson from his time in service that continues to guide him is: “Patriotism, Serving our country, our communities, and camaraderie with other Veterans”
He also shares with us what singing with the Veterans Chorus means to him: “I’m thankful for Opera Montana, starting and supporting, the Veterans Chorus! Providing opportunities to share the gift of music in different venues with fellow Veterans. It is great fun and a wonderful way to engage with different groups and organizations in our community. This also gives us another way to continue our service to others.”
Jeff encourages fellow veterans to join, “Camaraderie with fellow Veterans, sharing our love of singing with others, a visible reminder to others that Veterans are continuing to serve our communities in various ways.”
