Walker recounted the story of Chambers' life with the assistance of a tableful of flamboyant hats and stoles that she shared with the audience of about 70 persons at Shawnee Town.

Do you think Veterans Day should be a prominent holiday?

Absolutely. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and eat lunch like this if it weren’t for the veterans. We’ve got millions of people that fought and died to save this country; it should be more than a bank holiday.
