November 11 Veterans Ceremony

A huge Regency Cove thank you goes out to Mary Lou Mittel for organizing a wonderful Salute to Veterans ceremony last Wednesday! Within a matter of days, Mary Lou put together a solemn and very personal program that truely touched the hearts of all who attended. Our park has the distinction of having surviving veterans who served the Armed Forces of two nations. The U.S. and Canadian vets again served side-by-side this Veterans Day (Rememberance Day in Canada) to share stories, songs, and living memories in the clubhouse.

I don't have all the names of everyone who participated. (A family emergency pulled me away just the night before.) I wish to thank everyone who shared their talents or fought their shyness to contribute to this moving occasion. Next year, may it be ever greater.
Thank you Ed Bedore, for running back home for your camera, so we have these shots for posterity.
