STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER
.jpg)
YES--some of our local ''old warriors'' may have aged, and their eye sight dimmed,--- but not their love of our country.The VFW gives back to our community more than most any other group or club. They collect our cans and papers weekly.With the proceeds, they provide walkers and other needs to our handicapped residents. In addition to all of this, private monetary gifts are given to various charity groups.
Recently, on a TV news cast, it was said that there are only 4 Pearl Harbor survivors left in Florida. ---Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe 2 of these gentlemen live in the Fairways!
I do not know of a resident or veteran [myself included] ,that does not look with pride and respect upon this memorial.--I feel sorry for any misguided soul that feels differently.
Let us also not forget the smaller VFW memorial, inside the Masters,--the ''missing patrol'' table,----The plate, dinnerware and chair say so much about those that are gone and unaccounted for. Some have said that WHEN the Masters is renovated,---there will not be room for the small table!--- IF TRUE--WHY THE HELL NOT ??
THANK YOU VFW POST 5046 FOR HELPING ALL OF US TO REMEMBER!

THANK YOU READERS AND THOSE THAT COMMENTED.
Since this posting yesterday afternoon,the blog was inundated with viewers---I believe a record number. This post is an example of OUR ''EXPANDED''COVERAGE AND OBSERVATIONS IN THE COMMUNITY. It is hoped that the majority of this coverage will be of a positive nature.---If not ---so be it! AGAIN THANK YOU!
OMG. I got over to see the new look at the memorial,and was blown away. What a wonderful way to honor our vets.thanks to our VFW post for that wonderful thought.I understand our post paid to have this done.you guys are the best of the best.
Darn it I did get to see it yet.raining too hard when I got home.im going to check it out in the morning.ive heard so much about it I can't wait to see it.
Finally got to see memorial this morn.great job.looks really good. makes me wonder why it wasn't done sooner .looks so natural.
Finally was able to see the remodeled memorial this morning. Great Job. Thank you all and God Bless our Vets....
looks great
It would be a damn shame if HTA cannot make room for a small table in the remodel of the Masters. Come on people...... The vets fought for you too ! ! ! ! Let's honor them in any way we can
I have had the flu all week, but heard a terrible rumor, that HTA (Ed) painted over the red white and blue in all white.. Hopefully this is not true.
RE JAN 28
Just as so many other ''tales'' in our community--this is just a rumor. the memorial is fine!. I had more views and favorable comments on this post than many others.
It is my humble opinion that any damage or desecration of the memorial---would be the start of world war III in the Fairways!
Thanks Bill, I was hoping it was one ugly rumor regarding the painting over of the memorial. I was ready to start a sit in or march for freedom. Thanks for clearing that up. Much appreciated
