Dear Editor,
The Ceremony of Gratitude presented by the Daughters of the American Revolution, hosted by Italian Food Company owners Tony and Isis Wright and Bobbie Wright, in Key Largo on March 18 was a magnificent event. All of the Vietnam veterans being honored before their families and significant others were recognized and presented with a commemorative pin before being treated to lunch.
The Florida Keys Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution under the leadership of First Vice Regent Linda Norman and Honorary Chapter Regent Kate Granger, along with their members, showed all of the Vietnam veterans love and respect. The positive energy and compassion delivered by these ladies to all in attendance was abundant. It touched and uplifted the life of every veteran in attendance.
Along with many of the other veterans, I didn’t realize how cathartic this event would be.
In closing, your excellent publication has been a bulwark in supporting and recognizing the sacrifices made by our nation’s veterans. Thanks so very much to all.
John Donnelly, Key Largo
