TOWN CENTER HOSTS WOUNDED WARRIOR EVENT

There was a huge crowd at the Town Center  on Saturday,  November 12.  Residents attended a "Sold Out" dinner in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.


This was a very patriotic event. The tables decorated in Red, White, & and, Blue.  American Flags also were featured throughout the room.  A Color Guard brought everyone to attention marching  front and center to present our Flag. 


One wall was designated the Wall Of Honor.  There was a section for a picture of a Verona Walk resident or relative that served in various wars  starting with World War I. This was a simple memorial, but one that had very deep meaning.

Also in the display was a four page account of  "Thirty-Four Days" in a life boat in the North Atlantic. The story was written some 50 years after the S/S Denver was torpedoed. My Lady's Father was one of the survivors. She grew up never hearing a word about it. Fortunately the story "surfaced" about ten years ago. 


In their first appearance the VERONA WALK CHORUS  treated the group to their version of some great American Patriotic songs. Our residents also displayed their own voices while singing to historic tunes. In addition we were entertained by John Rinnel who is shown above with a mean guitar.
