Raising money for Veterans

The owners of the campground we stay at in White Springs, Florida raise funds each year to support dental services for Veterans who live in an assisted living facility in Lake City, Florida.  This year, with the help of a number of Airstream owners, the campground raised over $6,000 on Veterans Day for this effort.

We also have the honor to serve lunch to the residents of the assisted living facilty and march in the Lake City Veterans parade.

Each Veterans day for the past three years Sue and I have had the privilege to attend a Veterans Day memorial at a campground in White Springs, Florida.  The owner of the campground is Navy veteran and the campground has adopted a Veteran’s assisted living facility in the community. The campground, joined by a number of Airstream owners, help raise funds to provide dental services to the Veterans who live in the assisted living facility.  Join us this Veterans day to thank a Veteran for our freedoms.

A “Veteran” is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America”, for an amount of “up to, and including their life”.

It is the VETERAN, not the Preacher, who has given us Freedom of Religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the Reporter, who has given us Freedom of Press.

It is the VETERAN, not the Poet, who has given us Freedom of Speech.

It is the VETERAN, not the big man on campus, who has given us Freedom of Assembly.

It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the Right to a Fair Trial.

It is the VETERAN, not the Politician, who has given us the Right to Vote.

It is the VETERAN, who salutes the flag, who has served their country and earned the privilege, to fire their rifle and salute a Friend and a Flag draped on their coffin on their journey to their God.

With this in mind, thank a veteran for the Freedoms.
