Molino Park’s Veteran’s Day activity had to be postponed until this Tuesday, November 17 because of Tropical Storm Ida. We are also collecting coins for the “Honor Flight”. Our program will be at 1:00 on Tuesday. Thank you to all the Veterans and their families for their sacrifice.

In loving memory of my father, W. H. (Bill) Corley, who served his country with pride in the U.S. Navy during WWII and the Korean conflict. Like so many veterans of this part of our history his stories were few, but very detailed.

His discharge papers listed the medals he earned in the Navy and I contacted the Department of the Navy to obtain information needed to replace the medals that had been lost. Their reply to me was sent in error to another veteran in south Florida and he was kind enough to forward the same to me. He wrote me a personal note telling me that the list of medals told a story….my father was a true hero.

He passed away in February, 2005, and I miss him so very much.
