As most of you know the Veterans are very near and dear to my heart. However, I have never been as emotionally touched as I was the other night when the Veterans returned to Pensacola. Some of our (EWMS) cheerleaders went down to “Welcome the Veterans Home” and the girls decided on their own to chat “We love them, yes we love our VETERANS.” Of course I joined in. The expression on the Veterans faces will be one I will never forget. Some cried, some gave us thumbs up, some smiled, but all were very grateful!! I personally tried to thank as many of them as I could for Serving Our Great Country, allowing me the Freedom I have today, and told them we love you. Most replied with either “oh it was nothing anyone else would not do” or “no, thank you for allowing me to go…it has been an honor.” Boy talk about tears…These men and women are dying by the day and I will forever be grateful and honored to have been a part of such a wonderful afternoon and evening. God Bless each and every VETERAN you are all HEROES!!!!

Congratulations to Molino Park Elementary and all the schools in the North End of the County for participating in such a worthwhile event. I know first hand from my two children at Molino Park that they felt honored to collect change and take it into school so that a Veteran or two could participate on this Honor Flight in the name of Molino Park Elementary.

This is a fantastic story, thank you to everyone that was involved! These men and women sacrificed so much for us! It is great that we can do something in return. Please remember the veterans of all wars.
