On the weekend before the anniversary of 9/11, Hawks Cay Resort put on a celebration to honor those who continue a tradition of selfless service in our local community.
Their Heroes Salute started off with a 5K race in sweltering conditions on Saturday morning, followed by a parking lot Touch-a-Truck event that let kids take a seat in a few of the coolest rides in town.
An evening celebration on the Oasis Cay lawn featuring the Gabriel Key Band, a Color Guard presentation, fireworks and a flyover gave a more formal acknowledgement to the heroes who protect our country and island chain.
