On March 28th, we had the honor of celebrating 250 veterans from Lee County the best of the best!! 🇺🇸
From Purple Heart recipients to Green Berets, from World War II veterans to those who continue supporting our military in so many ways… it was humbling to be in the presence of such heroes.
As part of the committee, Senior Helpers was in charge of the check-in process. We had the privilege of welcoming our heroes, greeting them, and assigning their seats. Such a simple task, but one filled with so much meaning.
It was an emotional and humbling day.
Our Lieutenant Governor of Florida personally presented the certificates to the attendees. One of the most powerful moments was when our Gold Star moms those who have lost their children in service went up on stage to honor him and present him with a medal. It was their way of saying, “We support you, we thank you, you are one of us.”
Lee County came together to show our veterans one thing: we see you, we honor you, and we thank you.
A big thank you to our Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins a real life hero.
