What a great surpise today while holding our monthly Cast Off 22/ Fishing Friday event at U.S. Southern Command to receive a hand written note from Admiral Holsey. For a 4 Star General to take time out of his busy schedule to recognize Mark and Bill both with Thank You notes is a great Honor.

On May 27, 2024, Memorial Day, at the City of Doral Veterans Park, Vet Info in collaboration with the City of Doral and the Doral Military Advisory Board held a memorial service in remembrance of the fallen men and women who sacrificed for our freedom.
Veterans and members of the Doral community came together to honor our fallen heroes.
Today is not about barbeques, drinking beer on a boat, sleeping in because you do not have to go to work today, or even the word “Happy” as so many use to describe the day.
Today is a day to celebrate the men and women who sacrificed their lives so that we may do those things. A veteran said, “I can sleep at night, in peace, without fear because of their sacrifice”.
The cost is immeasurable!! A child growing up without their parent. A spouse without her partner. The passing of a family member and not being present. Missed games, ballet recitals, birthdays, and anniversaries are just standard operating procedures.
On this weekend of Memorial Day 2024, we implore you to take a moment and remember why you have the life that you have. Freedom is not free. It was paid by those heroic men and women who said, “I will give my life for you”.
Thank you to the following people for making Memorial Day 2024 a success.
