“We’ve Got Your Six” Veterans Appreciation Fair Held on Saturday

STURGIS, SD – Active duty military members, Veterans and their families took part in an event in Sturgis over the weekend that honored their service and brought attention to benefits and programs as Veterans Day approaches this week. The slogan “We’ve Got Your Six” was made popular in the military and it means “we’ve got your back” or “we’re watching out for you”. The perfect slogan for an event in its seventh year at the Sturgis Community Center, held on Saturday. The We’ve Got Your Six Veterans Appreciation Fair kicked off at 9:30am with registration and an opening ceremony at 10:30, held in the community center theater. The Black Hills State University Chamber Choir helped kick off the event with the National Anthem and America the Beautiful. Bud Kopp is a resident of Sturgis and served in the United States Army from 1963 to 1967 and spent two combat tours in Vietnam. Kopp missed the Veterans Appreciation Fair in 2025 but he said he was happy to be back this year. “It’s amazing,” Kopp said. “I couldn’t make it last year because I was in the hospital and I felt horrible that I couldn’t. I come because I believe in Veterans and more than that, I believe in our country and if it weren’t for Veterans we wouldn’t have the country we have today.” Military members, veterans and their families enjoyed a free lunch, catered by Lori Jeffery Catering, and were offered information about Veterans organizations like the VFW, American Legion and the Disabled American Veterans. According to event chairperson, Julie Malcolm, 221 Veterans took part in the event, an increase of 6% from 2025. Malcolm added that 122 non-veterans attended, for a total of 343 participants. Nearly 50 organizations were on hand this year to provide support and information to military members, veterans and their families. Share via: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn More.
