Before we get too far past Memorial Day, here’s a report about how one EngAGE senior veteran marked the occasion:
“Mr. Duffy is a resident at Cotton’s Point Senior Apartments in San Clemente, CA. Each week he goes to the San Clemente VFW and actively attends events. He either takes a taxi or a fellow marine picks him up. The city of San Clemente celebrates several holidays with veterans each year. The last couple of years, I joined him at the Memorial Day event at the San Clemente Marine Memorial. He proudly sits by his comrades. My good friend, Col. Buell, was one of the guest speakers this year and looked for him because I couldn’t attend. They shared stories, which helps every marine get through a difficult day. Honestly, I think Mr. Duffy’s day was made when he was greeted by such a wonderful officer. We are so lucky to have Mr. Duffy in our lives. He truly is a wonderful Marine. Semper Fi.”
